lap-band surgery anyone

hello everyone.  i am new to this site and have been to my first class where you get all the scary info.  i would like to talk to people in here who have had lap-band.  so if anyone would like to be my friend it would be helpful.  i have not filled out my "my oh" stuff yet but just got started so bare with me.  have a great friday.

Welcome to the NC board - you will find a wealth of information and support ! 
I was banded in August and have done well - now believe me when I say that I have worked at it, too.  But overall, I find it easy.  I exercise daily - doing something is better than sitting, some days it might not be more than 15 minutes. 
There are some other folks on this board who have the band, so I am sure that everyone will answer your questions and definitely be your friend.  Did you find the lapband board?  That is just for banded folks, but you will find lasting friendships here.
Welcome !  Tell us more about yourself.

Well my name is Jessica.  I am 28 years old and I live in Newport.  I am married with 2 kids,  Daven-9 and Gracie-5.  I have been battling my weight for about 7 years and it is gradually getting harder.  I am on the smaller side of obesity but my bmi is not great b/c I am only 5 foot.  I have just started the process at Southern Surgical in Greenville.  Feel free to ask me anything about myself.  I am pretty open so if I ask something you don't want to answer, just let me know.  Thanks for the Reply.

Hi, I've been banded and I'd be happy to be your friend.  Any questions, just ask.

I just got banded on Monday.  I'm the newbie band person of the group, I think.  Just keep reading and be sure to check out the band forum too - there's a wealth of info there for you.
