Hi Krystne, I just went to my first lapband seminar, this morning. I have many steps before I can have surgery. I'm eager and ready to have surgery. My husband also supports me 100%. He actually went to the seminar with me. I'm so ready and currently hate that I have to have a psych eval, see a dietician, etc. etc. I know it's for the best, but I'm anxious. Thanks for sharing your information. Vickie
