Where to start?! First, I’m sooo excited that I found this awesome forum. Thanks to everyone that’s posting! I’ve been thinking about attempting to get a band for about a year now and am finally ready to officially make the plunge. What pushed me over the edge is finding out I have Type 2 Diabetes. I’ve never been in the hospital or been sick, thinking that “it won’t happen to me”. Well, it has and I’m totally scared of future complications of being unhealthy. So, now I have a huge Lap-Band fire lit under me and I’m determined to make it happen. After weeks of online research, I’ve found this website to be the best source of information. The thing that is most comforting to me is the honesty that seems to be constantly displayed by people sharing their experiences. I look forward to being a part of this community and sharing my journey with everyone. Thank you. :roll:

Hooray! There are more Nebraska people than I expected. JulieC…. I’m wondering if you could give me some more info on your experience so far. I’m assuming you’ve been to a seminar. I’ve signed up for the November seminar at St. Elizabeth and am wondering what that’s like. The info says that they will determine if you are a candidate for WLS at the seminar….so will there be one on one time with a Dr./Nurse? Should I expect to stay after the seminar is over? Also, I’m looking for an exercise buddy in Lincoln….anyone interested? Thank you kindly!
