Hey everyone! I'm new to this, and I'm not super great with words (please forgive me). I'm having LapBand surgery on the 17th and started my pre-op diet a few days ago. It's been tricky, a lot of people think I'm crazy for having surgery right before Thanksgiving. I'm ready for this, though, and I would love to meet some new friends who are going through the same/similar experiences!

    Hey there! I was banded a few years ago, but had complications and revised to the sleeve. Are you on ObesityHelp.com? You need to make whatever the best choice is for you, but just make sure you research the stats on the band and are comfortable with your chances of getting to goal. PubMed.gov is a great site to check out some research. I will tell you that I didn't realize how high the complication rate was and how low the excess weight loss rate was when I went under the knife the first time. I wish I had.

    Okay, debby-downer moment over! Best of luck in whatever you decide and feel free to friend me!
