Hey Everyone!! I just started posting on LBT. I am pretty active on another forum, some of you might know me...some might not. Thought I would give this a try. I was banded August 1...by Dr. Spivak in Houston. I have had NO problems so far, which I attribute to his great skill and experience. I feel lucky ( so far) I am down 48 lbs..40 of that since surgery. I want to lose 110 more. I need to do better with exercise which will be a focus for me in 2008. Hope to get to know some of you ...a lot of you... it is wonderful to have people that really understand what we go through on a day to day basis!

:ranger: August 1 bandster here! my first post on lapband talk. Just wanted to say hi!

:wave:Thank you gingerbug!!!!

Thanks Tanya! I am very happy. I have to admit...I kept thinking I had to test my band...kept thinking it would FORCE me to not eat. Maybe for some it does that, but not me. It does keep me satisfied for 4 or so hours if I eat protein and veggies. Once I realized what it DOES do for me...and I let go of what I originally THOUGHT it would do....it was like a light went off. I am very happy with my decision! I hope you will be too

my cats are definitely more than property.
