I am 30yrs old just turned 30 and I way 215 and I am 5'2 and I tried of beiing fat my back my chest my knees hurt all the time I have been over weight for about 5yrs I tried every diet out there but I lose but I gain it back plus some. THis is the heaviest I have ever been! My mom is the one that told me about Lapband she is a teacher and she told be that three teachers at her school had it down so struck my interest. I have been researching for about 6months. I live in atlanta THe doctor name is Dr Daly at Northside hostipal

Goodl luck to you. I'm also starting the process. I have an appointment with my PCP on Friday so he can fax all my "stuff" to the lapband dr. I'm having all kinds of anxiety, I'll be excited and ready, then I get nervous.

Hi! I am also going to Dr. Daly. I am set for surgery next Monday June 9th. Have you been given a date or are you still in the "process". I liked him a lot from my meetings and can't wait. Good luck!

Hi I'm in SC. I'm in the process now of getting my psych evals knocked out and then I can meet with my doc. You'll get great support here. The people are open and are ready to tell you all about their experiences. So far the process has been easy but I know all this is the hard part it is after surgery when the real journey begins.
