I had been researching LapBand and the surgery since 2007.  After a great deal of work and research I found the Obesity Treatment Center in Manchester and Dr. Campbell!  I felt very blessed to have one more opportunity to lose weight in a healthy fashion (having tried all the rest over the years).  I went to the "informational session" in August, 2008 and started with the prerequisites right away - the psych eval, visit with nutrition, and signed up for the Lifestyles class.  I started lifestyle in Jan. '09 but was felled by a "brain bleed" which set me back by three months.  Recuperated from that and was back in action to start my class again.   I wrapped that up and did the 12lb weight loss and finally got booked for surgery!  I got my band on Jan. 14th (I'm a newbie).  Made friends with a woman from my Lifestyles class who has helped me immeasureably and it was she who told me about this site.  So, here I am.
