Hi Everyone,

I'm so glad I found this site, you guys have great info and advice !! I was banded on January 19th, I'm doing really good - no complications. My first fill is on Valentine's Day, isn't that romantic ?!!! I gotta make one of those weight loss time tables you all have, those are cool. Peace out homeys !!

Welcome to LBT, Sharon. And welcome to Bandlandia, too!

:clap2: Hi, my name is Sandy and my partner Dee ( also on this forum) had the lap band put on November 11th in Mexico. We went down with my son and all three of us had it done. They are doing well, she lost 31 lbs and he has lost 36 lbs. Me, I'm still trying to make it to 20. I'm getting a little frustrated after our fills, can't eat hardly anything, especially for the evening meal. But I am still glad I had it done and am hopeful of the future.

Welcome Sandy and congratulations on getting banded. I know it is a bit frustrating but that's what is good about the band. Slow and steady wins the race. How are you doing with your diet? Eating the RIGHT things? Getting plenty of protein? Exercising? Just keep at it and it will come.
