No surgery yet!!

Hi,

My name is Marti. I went to a seminar concerning weight loss surgery. I am very interested. I have an appointment with a surgeon on April 30. I can hardly wait. I looked at bypass surgery and the lap band seems less invasive. I'm somewhat nervous though because this is such a big life change.

Marti, congrats on your interest in getting banded. I'm really happy I did it. I've been banded 10 months and I'm down 52 lbs, 78 from my high. Life as a bandster is good. You can still enjoy all your favorite foods, just less of them. Best of luck. Julie

Congratulations, I studied and studied the lap band for several months before I did it- it is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family!! Life is so much better! Making a big decision like this is scary but just think in a year from now you could be heavier or you could be lighter and healthier. Its a big step but I have not regreted it one day.

Marti, I am in the same place you are. I just had my consult with the surgeon and am looking at an August surgery date. I weighed the options too, but lapband just kept winning for me so lapband it is. Congrats on making the choice to get healthy with us!!

Don't rush into anything -- take a month or two at the very least to carefully make your decision. It's a big change.
