Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Stephanie. I have been poking around the boards trying read, read, read about the good, the bad and the ugly. I have gone through all of the preop stuff and will be getting my band on March 7. I am very excited and nervous at the same time.

Weclome and aks your questions. Take note of the good and the bad experiences people share - you need to know it all! You will very quickly learn from the tone of the replies you get which people you need to take with a pinch of salt!

Hey, Stephanie! Welcome and best of luck to you. I jumped on the Bandwagon in November and I'm loving it. Ask questions, do your homework and most of all...follow the rules outlined by your doctor. We've cleaned off a seat on the loser's bench for you!!
