Hi everyone! So nice to find a site where I can chat with others who have or will be getting lap band surgery. I only know one other personal friend whose has had Gastric Bypass so it would be nice to make some lap band friends in here. Well don't be shy, I would love for you to say hello. I am from La Mirada, Ca and will be having my surgery at Orange Coast Memorial in Fountain Valley. My doctor will be Dr. Francis. I am so excited and a little worried but mostly thrilled to finally do something that will be good for me and to hopefully change my life for the better.
