Hello there my name is Ashley and I am new here on LBT. I have been "people" watching for a couple of months and have decided that I should join. I am very excited to get to know you all and share our experiences. I have a surgery date and am getting banded in Mexico by Dr. Ortiz (any info on him would be great). I am so inspired by you all I have created a blog so maybe one day I can then inspire others. Thanks!

Hi Ashley! Welcome to our group! I am Linda and will be banded this Tuesday. I am trying not to be too nervous for the waiting....I used to grab the sweets at this point!! I'm going to try to stay busy tomorrow to help the wait. Can't wait to share my experience and hear from others of their's. Good luck to you!
