  1. bandedbyrd, thank you so much for your reply. It's people like you that make me want to have it done. I've read some bad mishaps with LBS, alot of good things also, but it's the bad ones that make me nervous. I've done LA weightloss also. Spent $1,000 on it and only lost 16 pounds. Well I'm getting off the track about the real subject. Please let me know how you are doing in the coming weeks. Best of luck to you and hope you lose all you want/need to lose. I meet with a surgeon on 7 July. Take care, Paula in NC
  2. Hello, I recently attended a LBS orientation. Pretty sure I am approved. I am undecided about having LBS. I am 49 yrs old and have struggled with my weight ever since I can remember. Need to lose about 90 pounds, have high blood pressure, aching joints (knees). I would like to hear about someone who has had the LBS say 5 years ago or more. What is it like for you now??? Do you have to continue to have fills and unfills for the rest of your life??? Thank you, Paula in NC
