New to the board - looking for friends.
I am having the Lap-band too on Jan 8th. These boards are great for support. 
There is even a Lap-band message board here too. Everyone has been so good to me here. Any questions you may have ask away cause someone just may have your answer. 
Good Luck with your surgery!!!

Hi Lisa,
Congrats on you surgery! You will do fine, I think if we weren't nervous we wouldn't be human. Can't wait to hear how you do. Where & who are you having you surgery with? Can you tell me how to find the lap-band message board (haven't found it yet, I see alot of gastric bypass stuff).
I am keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!

Hi Jan,
Thank you so much for the post! Surgery on the 16th, thats great! You sound as if you are ready - thanks for the list of things to bring. I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery! I am having the lap-band done but do have a cousin that had the gastric bypass done 2 years ago and is now a size "4" she looks awesome.
Anyways I know you will do great and be a big looser soon!
