Hello. This is my first post here (I haven't been in an online community for a long time so please forgive any faux pas that my leave my fingers).

My name is Kim and I am from NE Iowa. I have been approved for my surgery (not yet scheduled) and I just got home from being poked, prodded, slimed and radioactivated. I am hoping that my surgery can be scheduled before the middle of February.

I just wanted to say hi and to thank you for all of the information that you share with each other. (I have been lurking here since I made the decision to push forward with lap band last October.) You have all been a big help in my education so far.

Kim

Hi Kim!! Welcome!

I'm Susannah, also a newbie around here. I'm in East Tennessee and am having surgery on January 21st. I'm currently on my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. You will find all sorts of different band experiences on here from lots of different people. One thing there is not shortage of is REALLY good and helpful information.

Welcome! Good luck to you and I hope you get to have your surgery soon! Great to meet you!
