I'm new, scheduled and excited.

[Cindy Martin 77]

Hello everyone, my name is Cindy. I am scheduled for the Lap-band on 03.07.13. I am in day 4 of my pre-op diet. I searched for a forum just like this one to help me with support and information. I would also like to encourage others on their journey as well. I'm not very good at reaching out to other, and this is one of my downfalls, so I've been told.

I have been overweight most of my 50 years on this earth. Like many others I'm sure this has been a yo-yo syndrome. My starting weight is 324 and my current weight is 311.4. I would love to meet new people with whom I can build a supporting and loving relationship. My husband and family are great supporters, but I would love to interact with others going through the same procedure and there after.

Thank you for reading,

Cindy

Hi Cindy!

Welcome to the group! I am also scheduled on 3/7 for LapBand surgery. There is great advice on these boards and many people really care about you and your journey. We can be band buddies, since we are on the same day for surgery! My Pre-op diet starts tomorrow. I am nervous and excited about the whole thing. My parents and other family and husband are all supportive of my journey. But being on here, you meet so many people that know "exactly" how you feel and what you are going through. I look forward to chatting with you and sharing our journey.

Thank you for your response. Just getting used to this site and managing my way around. I'm so excited but very nervous. I'll be praying for all of us.

Hi, I'm scheduled to get my band on 3/8. I'm so excited!!! I registered on this app last night. Already so many questions answered. I look forward to learning more and very soon sharing my own success story Good luck to you both!

Hi MrsFM, I'm so glad to meet you. I'm still trying to figure out this website. Have so many questions. If you find and great posts please let me know.

Thanks

Welcome to all of you. This is a great forum and all your questions can be answered here. Also on Youtube, there are videos on lapband, including surgery procedure. Ask your doctor on a seminar (mandatory to most) any questions you have. If you see a dietitian, ask questions. Prepare yourself and please follow the doctor's orders. There will be a time in the near future, when your friends or loved ones will say, Hey Skinny! They are magical words.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

Thank you for your support. Your loss is very encouraging. The night before I started the preop, 4 days ago, I had a formal good-bye ceremony to bad foods. This might sound a little silly but I had to make a real commitment this time.

There is nothing like having support from people that REALLY know what your struggle is and how you really feel. But the support from family and friends is awesome too. Message me anytime you need to talk or just vent. Where are you from?

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for your support. I'm from Dallas,TX but moved to Houston, TX area in 2002 to help my dad. He was dx with COPD. He passed away in 2008. I met my husband in 2004 and have lived here ever since. I have grown to love the area.

I currently live in AZ, as soon as our home sales we will be moving to Austin. So anxious to start our new lives there as a smaller person. I am blessed to have a family that is very supportive and an amazing husband. I am excited, nervous, scared and giddy all at once. Btw, I'm also Jackie.
