New here and doing some "homework"

[Jespooky 0]

Hello all. My name is Jessica.I just learned today that i qualify for the lap band and my refferal has been sent. I have been overweight ALL of my life (i broke a few strollers when i was a baby, and that was just the beginning). My current weight is 230 pounds and i'm 5'3 with a BMI of 41.

So anyhow, i joined the site to get advice, and do my homework on what lies ahead for me. Any advice, or info is greatly appreciated!

You sound just like me! I'm 5'3 and have been going up and down between 225-230lbs. I'm having my surgery on Sept. 4th at Southern Surgical Hospital in Slidell, Louisiana with Dr. Clark Warden.
