Ducker 59 Posted August 22, 2011 Hello All- This is my first time writing, as I previously belonged to the Lap Band forum. Oddly, I feel like I'm cheating on them. LOL. Anyway, I am so glad that I did start on the Lap Band forum since I was intially considering Lap Band. However, all of their very candid entries led me to believe that the Band was not for me, especially after seeing how many banders had already or were in the process of revision to sleeve. So, I am glad I am here and can't wait for this change! My surgery is scheduled for 9/28 and I am just beside myself with anticipation, not fear, anticipation. So, thank you all in advance for welcoming me into your circle and for all the feedback that you have candidly shared to help me get here. I really appreciate it. 36 Years Old Female 5'7 Current Weight 258.8 Goal Weight 160 Suregery Date 9/28/2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
