Dont worry I am definitely doing my homework and I have decided to get the lap band...now its up to the doctors to see that I can get it done...I am ready to accept the lifestyle change and willing to do almost anything to get to that point. As im on here I am finding that this site is VERY helpful. The people on here are friendly and I feel like Im talking to one of my friends at school or etc. Also congrats on the recent band and I hope to really become a bandster...:thumbup:
