Where to post? I am also new to this site and still learning the ropes.. I have had my consulation with the doc and and the nutritionist.. I am scheduled to have surgery in April. I have been looking into WLS for about 4-5 years. My mom had Gastric Bypass about 4 years ago.. so.. I can try to help with your questions. There is a lot of good info on this site.. although I will warn you that you can end up staying up all night reading and responding to threads.. but you will learn from those who have gone before us!

Hi Everyone

This is my first post. I am not at all sure how to use this site, but I guess I will learn.

I was banded exactly 8 weeks ago today!!! Had my second fill yesterday and even though I was told to be on mushies today, managed a very small steak, which I chewed until it was very mushy. I am enjoying this process, a life saver!

Chat soon

Welcome everyone! LBT is a fantastic site full of info and supportive people. There is so much to read and learn. If you can't find something, ask. I would say the main place that people post is the General Discussion section but there are several different sections for specific things. Just look around. Don't worry about posting in the wrong place, people are all over the board and you will get responses. Good luck!

      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.
