I just wanted to introduce myself, as I will no doubt be here regularly as I am starting down this path in my life. I met with my program coordinator for the 1st time this morning, and was told that my time to surgery will likely be relatively brief based on my history and my insurance.

My name is Kate, I'm 38 and was asked by my doctor what I knew about lap-band 48 hours ago. Its moving so fast, yet there has been so much leading up to this point that its not "spur of the moment."

I'm really looking forward to getting to know some of you, and certainly learn from all of you what is just around the bend.

Hi Kate,

This is a great place to learn as much as you can about the lap band. There are lots of wonderfully supportive people here with an abundance of information. When I went for my initial consultation I felt that I already knew quite a lot because I'd been reading this board.

So read and ask away! It's what I did!

Welcome to lap band talk!

hi newbie, welcome - it´s great when you can ask and ask questions everyone helps.

Welcome to LBT. Make sure you do a lot of research before you go through with the surgery so that you know exactly what you're getting into. It's a hard road, but worth it :tt1:
