Hello!

Am awaiting my WLS approval as I begin the that process. I have selected St. Vincent Charity Medical Center in Cleveland Ohio.

Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir will be my surgeon.

I did their web seminar and spoke with my patient advocate and have my initial Consult on Thursday, April 21.

Can't wait!!

Have started a blog www.workingtoloseit.com to record my journey towards a healthy me.

Steve from Ohio

Hi Steve. Welcome to Lap Band Talk!

Hey Steve! Welcome aboard. There is a ton of information here, and lots of people with a world of experience with the band. Have a seat and join in the fun. It may all seem a bit daunting right now, but there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there, and go for it.

Good luck on your journey!
