Hello. My name is Barbara and this is my first post but I have been reading the forums for a few months now. I first thought about having bariatric surgery in the summer. I was laid off from my job last March and gained 15 lbs. without even trying. I researched gastric bypass and was leaning that way, but after reading about the lapband surgery, I decided it was a better option for me. I know it is slower, but that's ok with me - I think it is much less of a risk. I just want to lose the weight! I have learned a lot from reading all of your posts and really appreciate the encouragement and help towards one and other.My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 12 and I cannot wait. I guess all doctors do things differently, but I do not have to do a pre op diet, which is ok, I guess. Any words of wisdom are appreciated!Thanks.
