New Girl in Town

Hello,

My name is Lisa I am 32 and I just got word last night that my insurance has approved my surgery. So it should happen soon. I am really nervous and not really sure I know everything i should. So I joined this site to get some helpful tips such as what I can and can not eat. What type of weight loss people have had and to see if anybody lives near me that has had this. Corydon, IN.

Hope to meet new people.

Lis :tongue_smilie:

Congrats on your insurance approval!

There is a TON of information online about lapband. Read everything you can find to help you prepare. I've only been banded since March 24th. I've lost 32 lbs since March 5th. I'm thrilled with my decision to have the surgery. Good luck!

Hi Lisa,

Congratulations on your approval. In case you're interested, you'll find a whole community of people banded / being banded in April HERE and you'll find your name has been added to the list of April hopefuls HERE.
