Another newbie

Hi,

I've been lurking for awhile but am going to come out now that I've got approval and a surgery date.

I'm SO impressed with everyone's weight loss, plus you guys seem like a really nice group of folks.

Surgery is set for 3/24 and I am psyched big time. I am a physician and have researched the band extensively. I wish I didn't need to do this, but am so thankful there is a tool to help me get to where I need to be.

Looking forward to my band journey:)

Take care ya'll.

Hi Pam,

Welcome. Where are you from? When I hear a doctor say they are banded or getting banded, It make me a little less worried about getting it done. You will love it here at LBT, the members are so supportive and kind!

I am in Texas too. I live outside of Marshall.

I live in Houston and am being banded by Dr. Speigel. CAN NOT WAIT.

      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.
