Today is the first step in making a change. I have a seminar to learn more about lap band tonight. Even though I have read, read, and read some more about lap band (the good, bad, etc). The doctors in my area require you to attend a seminar before setting up an appt. Is that the nomal for everywhere? Any advice/questions to ask at the Seminar? I am very excited/nervous....can't wait to start this new journey to a healthy me!
