Hello everyone....I'm new to this site. I have decided to have lap-band surgery, pending approval from my insurance co. I attended a seminar last Sat. at Centennial Hospital in Nashville.  I want Dr. Houston for my surgeon.  I attended a support group meeting Tues. nite in Jackson, really enjoyed it and meeting all the people there.  I have learned a lot by reading all the information on this site and others like it,  and I am ready  to be a loser. 

Welcome to the board!  Hope you have an easy time of getting approval.  Keep in touch and let us know how it goes.  Good luck & God Bless. ~~Elena

Hello and welome to this board. I met you Tuesday nite. I was the one sitting at the other end of the table. I hope you get your surgery quicker than I will.  I am glad you enjoyed our company that was only my second time being there but they already feel like family. Lee Lee
