Hi! I'm Paula from Texas...

I'm new here as of today. I am getting the Lap-Band on August 14th. I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet. I really excited about having the band!

I would love to hear any advice.

Paula

    Hey Paula! Congrats on getting your surgery date. You'll do fine. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and I would it over and over, if I had to. :)

    I'm a fellow Texan in the DFW area. Keep us posted on your progress. Good luck!!
