Hello

Hi. My name is Lauren and I am a 21 year old in New Mexico. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I have finally decided to really do something about it and get the Lap Band. I have my first appointment in Arizona in two weeks and I am so nervous. I just want to get it all done with. Although I'm nervous, I'm really excited to start this new chapter of my life. Any feedback or advice you have would be very much appreciated. I look forward to talking with you. Have a great day.

Welcome to LBT, and congratulations on your decision. I'm wishing that this was around when I was your age!

All the best with your plans.

hiya and welcome , i discovered this site yesterday and am hooked on it .been reading and learning so so so much.

good luck and go for it

i am 6 weeks post op, and just had my first band fill. i have no restriction as yet, as was feeling really abnormal and let down, until i came onto this site and learned that its not uncommon for it to take a few fills for the effects to kick in.

so good luck and i wish you well.. my surgery went really well, a bit sore after, but not much pain at all, i was back to work a week later and driving after 10 days ! so go for it.

with happy banding thoughts
