First Appointment June 3!

Hey there!

I am new to this board, but not to the world of the Lap Band procedure. I began researching this WLS back in 2001. I went for the first visit with the surgeon, got freaked out that I could actually have surgery and lose weight, and then lost my health insurance so I could not follow through with the surgery.

I am recently married, and am getting my Masters Degree in a week and a half. I am going to start teaching English in the fall.

I realized that I want a better life for myself. I have severe asthma, and walking long distances has become a chore, to sometimes impossible on my bad days. I need this surgery to live a normal life. I just want to be able to breathe.

I am eager to continue on this journey into Bandland

Welcome to LBT. This is a great board. I am scheduled for my first fill on June 1st, although I am trying to change it to May 26th since I will be at the surgery center because my friend is having her lap-band surgery that day. Are you nervous about your fill?

Hey Angie, thanks for the warm welcome! I haven't been banded yet, so I am not getting a fill anytime soon! I am excited to see the dr on June 3 to get this show back on the road again.

Woohoo!

Oops, I misread. Well good Luck on your first appointment then. I hope it goes very well for you. It's been an exciting journey!
