Hey there, I am so relieved to have found this site.... to be able to chat with other Banders I think will help my mental state during this process so much. I am currently scheduled for surgery Jan. 28th.... wanted to be completely done with the holidays before I had to start the liquid diet. Have some of the same concerns others on here have about possible failure but after reading some forums I feel a lot better.... I know I can do this and if I think negatively I am only going to sabotage myself. I am looking forward to making friends on here and being able to support others as well as myself.....Blair

Welcome, Blair, and others new to the site;

I have been here since Nov. 3,2009. I had my surgery on Oct.30,2009, but did not reach out for support until after the surgery. I needed someone, just as you do, to talk to about emotions, diets, and victories,too! So, I hope that you will find that here with this group, they are great support! Karen (kll724).

Glad you found LBT! I've found that it's such a great tool for keeping me accountable (along with blogging and logging all my food). So stick around - this site can be a great tool to aid you in your journey with your band and to better health. Congrats on your upcoming surgery! It'll be here before you know it.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
