Hi! I'm going to a lap band seminar on March 21 and I am so excited to be getting the information to start this journey. I am SO SICK of being fat. I have been big ALL my life and am now the heaviest I've been since high school. I have a really good friend who was banded Jan. 08 and has done so well! I have a 5 month old little boy who is the most wonderful thing in the world! I want to be here for him when he gets older and I want to enjoy my life with my sweet husband...I am in the Birmingham, AL area and if you are, I would love to hear from you! Any advice is appreciated and I want total honesty...the good, bad, and ugly of this surgery.
