I would love to find new friends--PenPals wanted!

Hi, all!  I am contemplating having lapband surgery done sometime within a month or two. On the one hand, I definitely need it; on the other, I am afraid...I bet many of you can relate!   Whether you have had surgery (either one) or not, I'd love for you to share with me some of your experiences, feelings,suggestions, concerns, etc..., as I will too.
