Going to see the Doctor and start my new adventure!!!

Going tomorrow and start things in motion to get the lap band done, exited and scared at the same time like most, but I feel this is the best thing for me and my health and will make my life more enjoyable. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas to help along the way it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Well welcome to the adventure! I'm one month post band surgery, and I do know what you're talking about. excited and scared and nervous and everything in between. I screwed around with this decision for a couple years, and finally stopped BS'ing myself and went for it. My doc had me do a 2 week pre-op diet. it sucked, but I stuck to it, and plenty of doubt and other mental BS during those two weeks. BUT.. since the start of my pre-op diet on June 15, and being banded July1, I've lost 50 pounds... and I FEEL GREAT!!! And this is just the start of things!!

and if it helps, I'm 52 years old, 6'5" and started this adventure at 380 pounds.

Welcome aboard and if you have any questions, fire away!

My husband and I are going tomorrow night for the seminar. We both have our letters from our primary doctors. I am excited to learn more about the different procedures and am hoping that I qualify. My BMI is 42% but hubby has sleep apnea and high blood pressure so I am pretty sure he is a shoo in for the surgery.
