Hello, my name is Gayle and I have been visiting this site for a couple weeks now and would love to start talking to people... I am 21 years old and weigh 243lbs. I have read a lot about the Lap Band and am trying to learn as much as I can about it. I have my first consultation on Oct. 17 and I am so excited and nervous.:nervous

This is such a great site, you all give such great insight and advice. I know I need help with my weight because I have tried so hard to controll it but I can't do it on my own. I hope that the Lap band and this site will be a big help to me. Any advice or questions are very welcome. I think I need all the help:help: and support I can get! Thanks to all!

Thanks so much for the Welcomes! It makes me feel so much more at ease knowing that others are there for me and are going or have gone through this journey too.

Can anybody give me a general procedure of the things that i'll have to do to get opproved for the surgery??? It would be greatly appreciated! I'v read a lot about it on this site and other places but it seems that all i can find is from the start of the liquid diet on... I am nervous about the starting procedure and would love to learn more. Thanks a bunch!
