Hello Everyone!!!

I have been looking at the main lap bad forum for months now.  I didn't realize there was a Kentucky forum.  This is fabulous.  Just wanted to say HI to everyone and introduce myself.  I am 33, married, no children, live in Ft Thomas.  Had lap band on 03/14/07.  I have lost 90lbs so far, about 65 more to go!  Anyway, HELLO to all you fellow Kentuckians!!

WELCOME to the board!!  I went board to board tryin to get ppl to start comin to out local board a lil more often. lol  Glad u saw the post! Congrats on the great weight loss!!!

Well hello there! I am also from Ft. Thomas. I am in the process of getting the lapband. I start my classes on Monday, though I just found out I need to get a letter from my PCP stating that I am approved for the procedure through her standpoint.  But awesome job so far!

Olivia, Hello fellow Bluebird! I had to get a letter from my PCP too.  I was nervous.  But, it turned out fine.  I went in and saw him, told him exactly what they needed.  He even asked me what the letter needed to say.  I just made it clear to him that it was not an option for him to say no.  I gave him a list of all the diets I had tried, the pills, the endless exercise programs.  Don't worry, you'll be suprised how helpful they are when it comes to this stuff.

Thanks to everyone.  I feel fabulous!  It's been a long long time since I felt this good.  I stick to the band rules and exercise.  This is the best decision I've ever made.  Congratulations to everyone on their amazing weight loss and the upcoming sugeries!
