Another Texan

Hi. I'm a new member but not a new visitor. Your site has provided a wealth of information over the last several months as I have researched and waded through the lap band process.

After much research and a lot of prayer, I am scheduled for surgery on November 8th with Dr. Veninga in Carrollton, Texas. I just wanted to say hello and thank you!

    Thank you for the kind words. You have helped build my confidence. At first, I was hesitant to tell anyone other than close friends and family about my surgery but I have come to realize that I have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Those that I have told have been very supportive.

    From one Texan to another...welcome and howdy! I normally wouldn't say "howdy" but the State Fair is going on and that's how Big Tex welcomes everyone so I found it very fitting. Good luck on your surgery! You mentioned building your confidence, well hopefully that's only just begun! I was like you and very hesitant to tell anyone about my surgery for fear of failing and having all the "I told you so's." Not now....I'll talk to anyone that'll listen to me about it! LOL Keep us posted and good luck and most of all, you have come to the right place to talk to people that definitely understand your every thought or feeling or even fear.
