Newbie

Hi, I am new to the site. I was banded by Dr O'Brien October 9. Just wanted to introduce myself to the locals. DaniR

Congrats...how are you doing? i'm not banded. Ruth Ann

Feeling great but struggling with eating/exercise. I'll get there with time and didn't expect to be magically "cured" but all the same...

Welcome, its good to hear you are doing well. Dr. O'Brien seems to be a good doctor. I had RNY with Dr. Graham June 8. Its been almost 90 lbs, and I am so happy with my surgery. Are you from the Sioux Falls area?

I am from SF and so far am very happy I had the surgery as well.

Hi! I am Christine. I have my surgery for LAP scheduled with Dr. O'Brien on Dec. 5th. I am looking forward to it, and also to chatting with you!

Hi Christine, Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! I liked Dr O'Brien very much and he is the best in the region so you're in good hands! Any time you have a question or just want to talk drop me a line!

Oh, I will be sure to do that! Thanks Dani!! Have a great night.

Hi, I am also a newbie and I am scheduled to be banded on december 6th! I am both terribly excited and nervous. I am surprised how smoothly(and fast) everthing has gone considering how difficult insurance companies can be. I just wanted to say hi and meet other local lap banders. Suzy
