Hi!

I am new to the forums and thought I would post a quick introduction. I just had my surgery on Thursday, October 16, 2008 of last week, and am in the healing process. Never in the world did I think I would be as looking forward to eating pureed food as I am right now!

I began looking into both the bypass and the lap-band surgeries last year, and decided to opt for the lap-band. Now, I've got the surgery almost a week behind me, and am feeling better by the day.

Well, that's a bit about me. Looking forward to meeting you all. :biggrin:

You are well on your way to success. Good Luck to you on your journey.

I wish you luck on your journey. I am also from Michigan and I am planning to have the lap band procedure as soon as I can get approval from insurance.

Who did your surgery and are you satisfied with the doctor?

HI

I'm also from Michigan. The SE corner of Livingston County. I was banded July 07 in Mexico and have lost 115 lbs so far. Where in Michigan are you from? I think it would be cool to have a small support group with Mi. bandsters.

Sorry, My goof. I' live in the SW corner of Livingston County. In Gregory.

Hello,

I am also from Michigan. I live in the Lapeer area. I have already been to a seminar, had my phsyc eval done today and he gave me the green light, and I have a appointment with my surgeon next Tuesday the 28th. I spoke with my surgeon last night at the seminar and he said they were setting surgeries for right after Thanksgiving so I am hoping to be having surgery sometime the first of December. Keep us posted on how you are doing and what works for you. Good luck.

I have not had the surgery yet. I am waiting for a date. :bored:I am envious that your surgery is over for you . I think that is what most people are anxious about. i know that is what I am about. I am from NH but was invited last summer to Frankfurt, MI and loved it!!!! :thumbup:Anyway, sorry I got side tracked! Go girl!:sad_smile:

Welcome to the site, I too am new from Indiana(Merriville). Banded in July. Hope to learn alot from this site about others struggles and sucesses!
