I'm just starting my lap band journey, with my seminar coming up this saturday (8/20/2011) with Dr. Groves and Dr. Britt. I'm excited to embark on this journey and a little scared too! I have a ton of questions which I hope to get answers to. I have been overweight my whole life and have struggled trying to lose weight with little success. My mom has recently been put on blood pressure and cholestrol meds and I realize if I don't take the steps now to change my life style this will be my fate also. So I have made the decision to go forward with lap band. I'm ready to take the steps to a healthier and happier me!
