Hello everyone, I hope your Monday is starting off well. Mine has just got a bit better since I found this site =D

My name's Marcie, I'm from Ohio, I'm 29yrs old, I'm a Wife, Mommy, Nurse & EMT. As of right now I'm a stay at home mommy, and only was working 2 evenings a week (a couple hrs) then I had some herniated disc that left me bedridden, I know my weight was a contributing factor. I wanted to get my weight in check since I'm coming up on 30, and I want to be able to enjoy life more with my husband & our 2yr old daughter.

I'm through all my dr appt's pre op and doing the ever so disgusting medifast liquid diet, and I'll be banded next tuesday.

I'm so inspired and encouraged by others who have already joined the band-wagon and I hope to one day be able to offer the same encouragement to others. I found this site while googling c-sections and lapband. I wanted to compare the 2, My c-section was a breeze, so prayerfully this will be too. I'm really excited to be able to connect with others who are banded and no offense to the bypass pt's but that's not me, so I need more 'banded buddies' :rolleyes2:

Hope to chat with you soon

This site is awesome, and gladly I found it at the beginning of my journey. I will be banded on Wednesday. Welcome Tamara

Tuesday is my day to get banded as well. I am so excited, yet nervous of course. I started this journey in early June, so my road has not been too long. Insurance won't cover me, so I am self paying. This website has been so imformative and supportive since I found it. Good Luck and if you need anything, let me know.
