New here

Hello!  I'm Leslie from Indianapolis.  I'm scheduled to receive my lapband on October 2nd with Dr. McEwen. I'm married, and we have one child, Sam.  Sam is 4 1/2 years old, and he was born with a severe brain malformation and has many medical challenges.  He is my inspiration and motivation as he is the strongest, most courageous, and determined individual I know! I'm looking forward to following everyone's progress in their weight loss journeys and finding daily support as I begin my own personal journey. Leslie

Welcome Leslie, glad to have you on board. My name is Melissa, im hoping to have surgery. Just getting started myself. Good luck on your journey. These ladies and gents are awesome about answering any questions you have?

Leslie, Welcome to the Indiana board.  You'll find lots of support and friends here.  Hope to hear from you often. Floyd

I am not a board reader or poster under normal conditions. But this process and this board is different! I just love this group and can't wait to read the postings. I am learning so much to help me lose and hopefully to stay Lost. I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I do. Also, just wondering how Misty is????

Hi Leslie~~~~ WELCOME! I am Jenny, I am due to have the RNY on Oct 10 with Dr. Gupta.  You will find that this board is a wealth of information.  People are so helpful and nice.  I am so glad I found this site as I have learned a lot.

Welcome!  I'm being banded in 2 days!  It's wonderful here and I've learned so much.  Beth

Beth, I LOVE your avatar!!! Unfortunately, most of the equipment I use DOES have a brain and it's the people who run it that doesn't! LOL!!!! Sherri

Sherri, I've run in to quite a few of those myself!  They're out there and you can't seem to avoid them! Beth

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes! Leslie
