Hi everyone!

I have been researching the band for over a year ( and lurking here:) ). I made my first appointment with Dr. Curry for February 5. I am at 270 lbs. I

am 5'6" with co-morbidities of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and sleep apnea. I know what u are thinking. Why did she wait so looong?:faint: Well, I am excited about this journey and look forward to speaking with you all in the near future.

Good luck on your journey. I am 3 weeks out today and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I will be getting my first fill on Feb 5th. It is kinda scary, but so is the alternative. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. That's what this site is all about. Again, good luck.

Welcome. It is a decision that should take time. It's great that you did your research first and are more aware of what you are choosing to do. I know it was the bet decision I ever made and being here at LBT is a great help.
