IVIozartsGhost 0 Posted April 6, 2008 A good friend of mine recommended this site to me for some good support and conversation with fellow Lap Bandees. I'm 24 years old and have always been a "big guy." However, in the last few years, I've become more and more sedentary and thus gained a lot of weight. So around a year ago I started looking into bariatric surgery to get me on track and help me improve my health. Well, on April 3rd, 2008 I was banded by Dr. Darrin Hansen of the South Valley Surgical Center in Sandy, Utah. So far I'm feeling really good and haven't had too much pain. I'm excited to get to a place where I can get exercising and resume a (quasi) normal life. I'm a student and I work full-time for a law firm so this downtime is hard for me to accept. I'm glad to have learned about this site and I feel I will frequent it with questions and for general support. I have a blogsite I've set up for any and everyone to check out and follow my progress. You all are welcome to comment on it. Becoming Half the "Mozart" I Am (My nickname has been Mozart since I was 8 years old...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted April 7, 2008 Welcome to LBT Mozart! Congrats on your surgery. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. I've lost about 76 lbs so far and I've just gotten to the point where I can exercise again and I feel great! It feels really good to be active again. I wish you the best of luck on your lapband journey! :regular_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
