Hello all,

I just registered to Lapbandtalk today. I am in the middle of my pre-op diet and have my banding schedule for April 23, 2009. I think I have jumped through all the hoops for a self-pay patient. My last hoop being that I need to pick up my CPAP machine today and be using it for the next two weeks.

I have started a blog when I was going through a lot of the process. My blog it at: My journey to a new me!

I have a BMI of 43% and am looking forward to being a-newme. This is exciting to me and I am looking forward to chatting with other people that have gone or is also starting this process.

Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Hello and welcome! My surgery was 4/23 of 2008!

Welcome to LBT I will check out your blog as well :sad:

Hi there and welcome,

I'm also being banded on the 23rd of April and have started blogging too. Hope I do as well as Brandy~ - Brandy, you look absolutely fantastic!!

In case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE.
