I I'm new to the forum, I live in the uk and had my lapband in 2007, I weighed a mighty 18 stones which at5'2 was not good, I was approaching fourth and decided I was not going to be "fat & 40"!!!! since my op I have lost ten stone and now weight 8 stones and 6 lbs and I feel fab although there have been some high prices to pay things that they don't tell you about, but it wouldn't change a single thing.

Congratulations -- so inspiring for those of us waiting to be banded! I feel like I'm carrying around a boulder or two.....can't wait to put them down for good. Welcome to the forum, so nice to have you across-the-ponders chiming in!
