Preparing for lap band surgery?

Hi folks,

Many of you have read my posts on other threads or my success story, on the success story forum. I'm in my 4th year and MAINTAINING my normal, healthy weight. Now I spend a lot of time paying it forward, and trying to share a lot of the things I learned that I wish someone could have shared with me when I was early in my banded living journey. You may already be following my blog. We just released a new interview in our audio/video series on Preparing for LAP-BAND®® surgery. Here's what it covers:
