First Post....New & Excited!

Hello to all at LBT!! :wave:

This is my first post, but I have been lurking and learning for a couple weeks now. I have been doing a lot of research regarding the band and have found this site to be the most informative for a variety of topics. I especially appreciate the candor along with the warmth I have seen here.....I really feel blessed to have found this site through a google search.

I had my consultation last week and have scheduled my psy eval for Feb 6th. All the paperwork is in line to get approval and I can't wait to get a surgery date!!

My husband is going to have the surgery after me. It will be nice to do this together. We can't really do it at the same time b/c we have 2 toddler boys. We both need to take weight off just to keep up with them. We also hope to have another child after 2 yrs has passed since my band (per surgeon....this is the best timeframe to wait).

I have never been part of a site like this, but I know it will play an important role in my success. It has already confirmed that I'm doing the right thing. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Hey 3 Loves - WELCOME! I am envious of you and your husband doing this together - I think that's great!!! I'm trying to get my dad and sis to do it with me. I get to be guinea pig for now - they're watching me and if all goes well think that they, too may join me. I'd love to have my family for company on this trip! Best of luck to you and keep us posted.
