skywalk64 0 Posted March 19, 2009 Hi Everybody, I'm new to the site. I'm just getting started gathering information about the lap band procedure. I have my first seminar Tues, Mar 24th. I'm reading all the posts to learn as much as I can from those of you who are farther along in the process. Thanks for sharing your information-it sure helps. I'm really nervous about it all, but feel I'm at the place where I need to take this step. I'm retirement age, and am about 150 pounds overweight. I just can't get the weight off by myself. :tt2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xgrl 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Welcome Skywalk64!!!! this is a awesome place to gather information, there is also some stuff on youtube if your interested in seeing what you get to go thru in terms of the actual surgery there is a blogger on there called thebandinme and it's pretty awesome she got to take the camera with her all the way up to the surgery and afterwards (not in the surgery) but it's really a first person perspective on what happens if you have any questions feel free to ask everyone here is really nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skywalk64 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Thank you so much for your post. I'm having a heck of a time trying to get around to everything on this site, and I'm just now reading your reply. There's so much good information here. I'm going to pull up youtube and watch the video you told me about. I've had to start dieting (using Amaza rx) to lose 30 pounds before the doctor will do the surgery, and I can use all the inspiration I can get. :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
