Okay, I joined this site back in september of last year after doing months of due diligence. I've learned more in the past year about lap bands than I ever thought possible. Well, I finally went to a seminar, met with a surgeon and now have my procedure date set. Friday, March 26th 2010. 4 weeks to go and I'm really excited. I cannot wait to shed this weight. These past five years I have been packing it on and now I'm ready to be start my new life. I have fought with my weight my entire life and realize that for some people diets alone just don't work. I've lost and regained so many times over the years. Now, I just want to lose it, and for good.

Can't wait to start posting my progress!!!

Good for you on making your decision. I too took a long time to research, study and contemplate this huge lifestyle decision. I feel the more informed you are the more prepared and sucessful you will be in the long run. It is an exciting experience. I was banded 2/25/10 and so far so good and it is/will be the best thing i have done for myself.
