Welcome,

It helps so much to be able to discuss you problems and fears with people who have experienced it.

It is nice to have a place to "brag" about your 50 lb loss or smaller clothes. Oh you will have lots of good things to post about.

I fondly remember getting in the regular size department , size 18 jeans. No more plus.

Hi--I'm new here, and just starting the process. My insurance requires a 6 month doctor supervised diet. My surgeon will (hopefully) be Dr. Craig Floch of Fairfield Bariatrics. (St. Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, CT)

So far, I've attended the informational seminar, had a visit with the surgeon, and today had the psyche consult done. Still a bunch of stuff to do.

I'm curious about the reasons people choose lap band, and also the pace of their weight loss.

Also, can anyone suggest an exercise DVD that would be good for someone with BAAAD :phanvan arthritis but who needs to increase their physical activity?

Thanks for all replies!
