My name is Sonja, I was banded on May 4, 2005. I had a great experience with my doc and love him. I had my surgery here in ND, and I am doing well. I have had 2 fills, the last one is pretty good so far. I have lost about 36 pounds so far, (Including my pre-surgery liquid fast.) Hey, it is pounds lost, so I am including those! Anyway, I am so happy to have gotten the band.

I have a wonderfully supportive hubby and great daughter. I am at peace with my decision to change my life and am looking forward to the journey and getting to know all of you!

Hello everyone! I am currently awaiting approval for my lapband procedure! I have done my research long and hard and I feel I have made the right choice! I have been overweight all of my life and I am really excited about the big change! I have read so many of your inspirational stories so far. I am looking forward to posting a ticker to chart my progress. I had to get 2 years of medical history from my specialist along with just the general facts, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, etc. I am a medical care provider and our insurance will approve the procedure it just takes so dang long! I am looking forward to it though thanks to all the posts.

Hello Everyone,

I had my band done last Monday with Dr Barker in Mesquite, and love it already, though I will be happy when I am able to taste real food again. I found LBT the other day, and so happy that I did. You all are a GREAT bunch! I have learned so much just reading what you all have gone through. Helps a great deal. My next project is to figure out how to get the Ticker going.
