Lapbandster 496 Posted August 16, 2012 wow!! What a great feeling! I will never forget the elation i felt when hearing the news. I was walking on clouds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hls50 20 Posted August 16, 2012 That is exciting news!!! That was the best call I got during my whole process........after all the tests, the dr. appointments, it was so exciting!! Don't let anyone's negative comments distract you. I'm sure you did all your research before you started this process. I personally know two people who have been banded, two and three years out and both are doing great!!! All the best to you. My surgery isn't until Sept. 11th......so I will be looking forward to hearing how well your surgery went 1 RahRahRah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choosesuccess 16 Posted August 16, 2012 Thanks for your encouragement. I did my research and know this is for me. My sister had gastric bypass in 2007 and lost over 220 pounds and has still kept it off. She's a good support for me. I just didn't want to do gastric. Lapband is for me. Jumping for joy.
