New to the Band



Recommended Posts

Hello all...I am new to the site and thought I would post for the first time. I am in the process of getting my surgery scheduled. I continually run into something else I have to accomplish prior to my surgery but I know it will all be worth it in the end. :( My insurance will cover the surgery:clap2: ....so no complaints here...I guess I would run a race if I thought I wouldn't have a stroke to get this done....Just wanted to say thank you to all of the inspirational stories on this site...it really helps to see what other people are going through. It makes my decision to have the band surgery easier. .. Thanks again.

Welcome to LBT! This is a great place for information and support. My wife had the surgery in May and had to jump through MANY hoops for that final approval. It is definitely worth it. I wish you the very best!

      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.
