Howdy from North Texas! This is my first forum ever. With dial up doing the internet has not been very fun for me. However, changing is in the attitude: slow is better than not at all. Anyway, I got banded 10/07 and have only lost 43 lbs. Hoiwever, the band has been the best thing I ever did. This year will be different and my first stop is here...What do most people expect and get from forums? Hopefullly I will get and give support and have lots of success. I did not get up to 280 because I did not have issues around food. Thanks for being here.:confused:

So cool, to get a response from a post already. Then I noticed my mistake. I was banded in 10/2006 not 2007. I have had the lapband over a year and two months.So my weighloss is not as drastic. Only three a month, not 20 a month. I did expect to get drastic weightloss that did not happen. However, Like I said before the lapband is the best thing that I ever did. As a lover of food and binge eater before I would put weight right back on and more. The lap band has helped me deal with eating behaviors that were unhealthy. That is why I decided to try a forum to foster a support group. My Dr has a support group, but I did not want to drive the distance.
