    Back again ....

    Hello everybody, I haven't been on lapbandtalk for a while and I really missed it. In January, I moved from Germany (where I was born and raised and have lived for 44 years) all the way to Taylor, TX. The last 5 month I was busy finding a job, getting my own place to life and settling down. Well, I am back again . I will try to post regularly from now on. Since I do not yet have a computer at home I use the internet at the public library in the morning. I have some questions about how the lapband control and fill up works here in the US, how much it costs for someone who does not have health insurance and yet and all such things. I will post them step by step . Ya'll take care ( .....oh, by the way, I gained some pounds back because my band needs to be checked and probably filled .... and because i can not stay away from milkshakes and ice cream ). Best wishes, Irene aka texasbluebonnet

    Back again ....

    Sorry that it took me so long to get back. I am such a slugger when it comes to posting . Taylor is close to Austin, about 30 miles northeast (I guess). I got an answer to an older posting about a doctor in Bryan. I guess I will give that a try. I have gain a lot of weigth because of my terrible eating habits and the fact that the band needs to be checked and filled. But for the most part it is me eating the wrong stuff .... well, old habits die hard ... even with a band. Ya'll take care, I will be back soon. Irene
  3. Hi, I am going to move from Germany to Taylor, TX this fall and I am looking for a doctor there for check up´s and fills. Thanks for your help! Irene aka texasbluebonnet
  4. Hello from Germany! My name is Irene, I am 43 years old. I was born and raised in Germany and I am still living there. I got my gastric banding (lap band) in July, 2004 at a weight of 332 pounds. Since then I have lost about 132 pounds and came down from a size 28/30 to a 14/16. I do not miss one single pound and I am very very happy with my decision to undergo weight loss surgery. One of the members of this board referred it to me, because I have posted in a german forum that I am going to move to TX for good this fall. So I am very happy that she told me about this forum so that I can get in touch with bandsters in the US, especially the Austin/Taylor area where I am going to live. I will leave you with that for the moment and browse a bit through the threads. If there´s anything you would like to know about me, just ask :cool: Have an awesome day everybody!
