I have been here a long time but this is my first post. I am attending my first seminar tomorrow afternoon!! I am so ready to get this thing going. My wife is totally behind me and we had the talk with my parents tonight. They were surprisingly supportive. That makes me feel so much better. In fact they both want to go to the seminar with us tomorrow. Anyway, I will keep everyone updated with my progress!!!

Welcome. I think it is a good idea for them to come along. I am now finishing the second day of my pre-op diet and will get banded 9/23. Seemed like the Journey started a while ago but it has gone quick. This is a great site with lots of support, and I can't think of a question that you can't get answered here. Best of luck. If you end up deciding to move forward I would suggest grabbing a copy of weight loss surgery for dummies. It is a good book that lays out alot of what you are looking at doing. Good Luck

Welcome! Congrats on having the support of your family--it's so important to have people in your corner with something as life altering as this (which is why I love this board so much). I hope you enjoy the seminar. Lots of luck to you on your journey!!!
