Hi everyone, I'm so excited to find this forum! I'm currently looking into the lap band option for my weight loss. I do not know personally anyone who has gone through this procedure so I am hoping that this forum might segway me to finding out more information about the procedure as well as a doctor near to where I live.

I'm hoping also to make new friends as well, so feel free to add me as your friend.

Thanks!

Marcy

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

This definitely a good place to find out what life with a lap-band is like.

Hi, Marcy! Welcome to the forum from a northern neighbor! I hope you find all the information you need. Everybody here is really helpful and encouraging. It's easier to start this journey with a friend!

Hi Marcy!

I live in Maryland also (Elkridge) and I'm currently in the program at JHU Bayview. I have not had surgery yet - my packet was just turned in for insurance approval. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have.

Good Luck!

Linda

Welcome Marcy,

I too am from Maryland, but on the eastern shore near Salisbury. I work at the hospital where my surgery is being performed on April 16 :smile: cant wait. I have noticed that since I have made my decision there are lots of people coming out of the woodwork that have had it done. Just make sure you go to any support meetings that are nearby, it really helps to meet other people that you can talk to.
