Welcome to lapband talk LeeNWIndy29

Great to see you here...LBT is certainly the place to come to hook up with people in your own area...If you don't find someone there are heaps of people on this site who will totally relate to all the stages of your lapband journey...the advent of Internet has made the world so much smaller...

Best wishes on your surgery...We look forward to hearing of your progress.

      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.
