louise162 0 Posted December 23, 2006 Welcome! I've only recently joined myself. I haven't been banded yet; surgery is due in February! Everyone seems really friendly here so I expect to be hanging around here a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acheiver 0 Posted December 23, 2006 I have my consultaion on January 15, then will be banded about 3 weeks later. This should be at the begining of February. I have been reading all the messages and it does sound a little complicated but I am determined to do this. No stopping me now ....50, 5'6" and weigh 290...ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louise162 0 Posted December 23, 2006 I also weigh around 290 but I'm 5'10''. It's still horrendous though. Like you I am determined to do this; I just want to get healthy and be able to go out and have fun with my family. I'm really fed up of being a spectator in my life!

acheiver 0 Posted December 23, 2006 I want my life back. For years I did not have a weight problem. Therefore I know both sides of the scales. Obese and looking great. Sometimes I wonder how I got here. but thats Water under the bridge. I could blame it on the good Cajun food I am raised on but that is not fare to myelf. It was just me...eating and enjoying life. Not paying attention to what I was doing. Now I have to apy the piper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puddin 7 Posted December 23, 2006 Welcome to LBT! My life is not the same since losing weight - not one little bit! If you can make some real lifestyle changes, the band can be an amazing tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
