Hi,

My name is Mo and I've been considering LB for about 2 years now. Lately I've been thinking this may be a good option for me. I have about 135lbs to lose and I think this will be an effective tool to reach that goal. I've been dieting for years and i'm frustrated (with myself).

I went to seminar last night..it was really good.

I plan on having a consultation soon...This is such a big decision for me..i'll be lurking around here for a while ..so I just wanted to say hi!

Thanks!

Hi Mo, Welcome to the forums. I just joined a couple days ago myself. I'm booked for July 7th surgery!!

I got my insurance approval letter today, YAAA!!!. Best of luck with your journey!!:biggrin: Carol D

Hi Mo!

Good luck with your decision! I was banded a year ago and have had great results.

Feel free to asks lots of questions and get as much information as possible.

Hi Mo!

I had also thought about the band for about 2 yrs before I decided this is what I want to do. I lurked around this forum and looked up as much info as I could before I decided to take the plunge and go to a seminar. The doctor I chose no longer has a seminar, but he has a one on one and doesn't charge for that first consultation. Like you, I have a lot to lose (about 145 lbs) and this is the first time I have ever felt like I can do this. I don't have my band, yet, but the journey started with the first consult. I hope we can both document a successful journey. Good Luck!
