LapBand Seminar is Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I've made the decision to become informed about the lapband. I have known two people who have had the procedure in the last few years. They both have been having great success. My mom first told me I should have this surgery last year and I was really offended, however after trying W.W. for the umpteenth time, I have made the decision to look into Lapband. I'm really excited about the seminar tomorrow and so far after reading countless blogs over the last few weeks, I really think this is something I want to do.

I'm looking forward to reading more on this forum and becoming even better informed!

:-) Cheers

Update!

I just got home from the seminar. I am so excited, the presentation was so informative. There were three actual patients there and two of them got up and gave their testimonies. Both girls looked amazing and had lost 70 and 190 pounds. The point they kept making that really hit home with me was that the lapband isn't a "quick or easy" fix, it is a lifestyle change and just a tool to help you.

There were two surgeons there describing three types of weight loss procedures including the lapband. The surgeon that I researched online was there and I am impressed by his presentation of all of the facts including the possible complications. His manner was friendly and informative and the Nurse running the seminar was equally helpful. I am making the phone call in the morning to schedule my first consultation with the Dr.!

Good Luck to everyone just starting the process and I look forward to reading and hearing more stories as I begin mine. smile.gif
