thnkfl4me 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Good evening everyone, I am new to the website and from what I read so far I love it, the support and information on here. I am hoping by the end of the year I will be getting my lapband surgery done. I have already gone for my consult with the surgeon and I have my nutrition class tomorrow, my bloodwork/uppergi/ultrasound on 9/15 and my psychiatrist appt on 10/13. The only thing I have left to do is go to a support group meeting and then hopefully soon I will have my surgery date. Thanks for all the helpful information I have read on here and I hope to continue my journey with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBS 3 Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Dee. Welcome. I haven't been here very long, but I LOVE this site. People have answered sooooo many of my questions, addressed my concerns, and it has given me a place to visit where I know people truly understand what I am going through. Everyone is so friendly and so helpful. Because of this site, I am much more comfortable heading into my surgery. My surgery is Sept. 12 and I am very excited. It sounds like you are almost there - keep up the good work and good luck to you. Becky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
