I've been reading all the posts for the July banders and decided to do my first ever post on a message board. I first considered lap-banding in 2003 but then decided to do the conventional diet and exercise route. Wellllll, that hasn't gone so great and I made the decision to have WLS.
I'm self pay so this is beyond huge for me. I will have surgery 7/12/07 in Tijuana, Mexico. I really have loved the feeling of this group and want all the support I can get!
