Hi Everyone. Glad to have found this site! I have my surgery on Nov 11th.

I have been on a weight loss journey for about 10 years now. My original weight was 230 pounds. With weight watchers and quick weight loss programs and exercise i lost 95 pounds. My weight steadied between 135 & 145. Then after having my son 3 years ago I am struggling to loose 40 to 50 pounds. I finally made the decision to get banded and i am extrenely excited.

Welcome to the forum! I was banded at Cleveland Clinic FL on Friday. After researching WLS and thinking about it for so long, it feels odd to say that. My surgery went very well. I spent one night in the hospital, which is standard for my surgeon and came home yesterday afternoon.

Good luck with your lap band journey!
