Another intro from Virginia...

Hi - I just "surfed" over from a post on ObesityHelp, can't have too much support or info is my motto. I'm scheduled for Lap-Band in Charlottesville on 10/13. I am self-pay so it has been an incredibly fast trip so far! Seminar in August, surgeon consult 9/22, dietician and psych eval this week, surgery in just over 2 more weeks. Yikes!

Look forward to looking around and seeing what this site has to offer (ObesityHelp is great - I'm marysbandlog over there).

    Hi Mary, and welcome to LBT! I'm from the Richmond area, so not too far from you. I've found this board to be incredibly helpful and a wealth of information. Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

    Hi Mary,

    I am from Roanoke, daughter in Charlottesville (UVA 3rd year). I was banded on 9/18. Healing just fine back to work on Monday. I hope to get to 150 as well. I also am 50, so far I lost 7lbs in the 1st week.

    Good luck on your journey ahead, feeling great 9 days post-op.
