Hello All,

I am LauraSue - living near Boston with a surgery date of 9/30. My surgeon is Dr. Hess and I am nervous about life with the lapband.

I appreciate any post on your experience post surgery and after.

Thank you.

Howdy there and welcome! This is a GREAT place to read and learn! The band was the best thing I had ever done ~ Wish I had done it sooner! Good-luck to you :thumbup:

I'm getting banded on August 6th. I can hardly wait to start my new life. I'm not really nervous, just eager to learn as much as possible. Still trying to learn how to use this site...so much learning! :confused2:Thanks for any information you'd like to share!

Where are you having your surgery?

Hi - I am having my surgery at Boston Medical Center. I needed to wait for the appropriate time from work. I am glad to have the date scheduled. As I read more and more I become more confident. For those who are having surgery before me - I will keep you in my prayers. My bigest issue now is to try and develop my new eating habits before I definately have to.... I want to get uswed to it.

Thank you for your posts.

Peace,

Laurasue
