Hi Everyone! I am brand new here! I got my lap-band on 9/25/12. I have lost 14 lbs since then. I am still on the full liquid diet and have my post-op appointment on 10/9. I am so proud of myself for getting this far. I started the process two years ago when I went to the informational session but didn't move forward with everything until this past summer. They also ended up removing a hiatal hernia I had. I had to get this lap-band after all the years of attempts. My babies need me healthy. Anyways, I am glad I am here and looking forward to meeting you all. Julie
