bandpal 7 Posted March 24, 2009 Welcome to LBT, Kathy, and congratulations on making this big decision. With a little (okay, sometimes a lot) of patience, acceptance , follow through and the aforementioned good luck, the band can be nothing short of a miracle. This site is an endless source of information and support. Read the relevent forums, paying special attention to stickies and faqs. Identify the threads that are meaningful, and go through them searching for whatever you need – don't just read the recent posts – some of them go back a long way, and some of the information there is still quite valid. Read peoples' profiles to get an idea of who's been around for a while, who is walking the walk. And join the April 2009 Bandsters Forum to share this experience with others who are going through it at the same time. Here's the link: April 09 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
