Hello, my name is Tawna. I am 22 yrs old, I have 2 little boys, and I have been happily married for 5 yrs. I have researhced the lapband for awhile now and I am going to see a doc on tues. I am excited, but nervous, the more I read on it the more I want it, and I am worried I won't be approved or something. Anyways it should all go okay. I am looking for someone to talk to about all the stuff to come. Thanks a bunch and I would love to hear from you.:biggrin2:
