Hello!

Hi Everyone :huggie:

I received my surgery date today, Feb. 12th ! I am so excited and ready for this. While at my appointment today, I met a real nice woman named Kirsten who recently got the lapband herself. While waiting in the room, we were talking and she told me all about this forum. She told me how supportive and great it is, so i decided to join! I'm happy that i did.

I will be having my surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston, Mass.

Hopefully she will read this post - Thanks again!!

Wow, that's great!!

I'm excited and nervous too! I'm trying to focuse more on the first steps before i get myself in a panic over solid foods and whatnot, lol. Yes, It's great so far, I've been sitting here browsing the board for like the past hour, lol!

Thanks & Best of luck to you as well !!

Kelsy, welcome and congratulations on your surgery date. I'm glad Kirsten recommended LBT to you. This is indeed a great place for support and information. I don't know if there's a Feb bandsters thread going yet. Take a look, if you don't find one start it yourself!
