Another Newcomer

Hi everyone! I have been viewing the threads as a guest for a while but decided last night to join the group. It sounds like a lot of good information passes through here so I might as well get some help from others who are in the same boat as I am. I am looking into going to Dr. Huacuz but not at the Molding Clinic. If anyone has any experience with Dr. Huacuz please feel free to pass it along. Thanks!!!

Sorry I didn't tell you much about myself...I am 32 and am from Mid-Missouri. I have been a special education teacher for eight years and this next year I will be the counselor at the high school I work at. I have a son who just turned one (they grow so fast) and a very large dog named Hoover I am definately looking forward to getting banded and love all the information that is shared through this site. )

Hi, DEEtermined! When are you getting banded? I am a teacher too, an English teacher at an alternative high school! I hope you like your new counselor job! I counsel all the time in my classroom...if you know what I mean, and you do, because you are a special ed teacher.

Welcome here. I have truly enjoyed the great people and the help and encouragement...oh, and the information, tips and speed bump warnings, too!

Thanks for the welcome!! I have no set date yet for the band but it will probably be within the next few months. ...hopefully!!

DEEtermined, This is definately the place to come if you want to learn anything about the lapband. The people that visit here are terrific! Every question that I have thought of has been answered by reading what everyone has to say.

Good Luck with your journey. By the way, I, too am from Mid Missouri, but I am not a teacher.

Niecie,

Thanks to everyone for the welcome! I am now looking into having the band done with Dr. Bernsten/Dr. Steward in Topeka, KS. Anyone have experience with either one of those surgeons. Thanks again and good luck to everyone on this journey
