I just got confirmation that everything is approved and I am scheduled for July 8th as my surgery date! I am so excited! I hope to become familiar with as many July bandsters as possible, as my doctor's support groups mainly focus on RNY patients.

Be realistic, lap band is not the answer to weight loss. It takes diet, excercise and a really good, conservative doctor. Just remember it took time to gain the weight, it will take time, effort and patience to lose it.
After my band, I lost some lbs. then nothing for 6 to 8 months, until the right amount of saline in my band. I have an 11cc band and I presently have a fill at 6cc. Over the last year I have lost 30 lbs and inches and look a lot better, I read some of these postings and I found I did not fit into a big group of fast losers. It is about your health, and the future, it is about forever.

Makes me feel good to know many more of you out there will be going through the same thing with me on July 8th! Excited for the day to come, but nervous too! We all know it will be for the best - the best decision we've ever made!
