Hi everyone! I'm Lin and I'm new here... as many of you, I am morbidly overweight and pushing 60 (in December) and this is my birthday present to myself! I am working with Finger Lakes Weight Loss Center in Auburn (Dr. Carl Weiss -- love this guy!!) and am in the beginning stages. I'm working on getting 15 pounds off, doing the meetings and interviews, etc.

My husband Pat is 110% on board with me for this! I'm so blessed to have him.

It's nice to meet you and I hope I can learn from you all!!!

Welcome to the board! I think you'll really like it here. OH is full of great info and people.

Good Luck with your appointments and meetings. Any thing I can help with give a holler!

Lin, I am hoping to have the LapBand done -- mostly because of recovery time since I have 3 young kids.  I think it should work out well for me.

I think you are right! 

I just got a book from Amazon.com called the LapBand Solution by Dr. O'Brien.. it's pretty good and takes you step by step through the process. I am just starting to read it!

Hi Lin,

  Welcome to the board. My sister and I did our RNY together last August.  This  is a good source of information. Good luck on your journey.
