Hi, there! Glad you decided to join in! It's a great place with super people, and a few guys, even! Post anytime! Cindy

hello Paul! welcome to the site!

Welcome Paul! I logged on just a bit ago. I've gone to one of the Dr. Pinnar's meetings. Was planning on having a doc in VA do my surgery, but he moved to Seattle. I'm having surgery this Mon. but in Maryland, Dr. Greene.

I haven't written much on this site. Read quite a bit. Soooooo much info is out there, here. I've been researching lapband for almost 3 yrs. Finally, moving forward. Lucky enough with my insurance paying the way.

Keep viewing, and glad you're doing the lapband.

Welcome Paul....good luck on your new journey of life! I will be joining the ranks soon also!

Hey Paul,

It's great to have another Y chromosome here at LBT. Where in VA are you? I used to live in Richmond.

Its good to see more testosterone popping out of the woodwork. Good luck on the 17th!

That's awesome! I'll look forward to seeing/hearing about your process and contributions on the board!!

I am new here. I got my band in May/2003. I originally lost 75 pounds but since December of 2004 I put about 10 pounds back on, I am so glad I found you guys because I am struggling to stay on track. I have continued in the last 6 months to lose and gain the same 8 pounds over and over again. Just bad food choices, and giving in to children wanting fast food. Anyway I am so glad I found all of you because when I got my band, I had trouble finding much support.
