Hello fellow bandsters,

I am a 37 year old from Houston, Tx. and after months of contemplation

am scheduled for the lap-band procedure on April 3, 2006 with Dr. F.

Spiegel :clap2:. It's comforting to know that through LBT, I am definitely not

alone and look forward to sharing my journey of weight loss with you all!

Welcome Mermoore!! I pray for SUCCESS!! I had my surgery 3/20/06 so am VERY new at this...but pleased so far! Keep us posted!

A big howdy from another Texan! Welcome to LBT! Good luck and keep us posted!

Good luck to you. We have the same Doctor. I'm also in Houston. I am waiting until after cruise vacation so I won't get mine until June. Good luck to you and I'll be anxious to track your progress.

Good luck, and you WILL be happy with the results.

Welcome to LBT!!

Welcome!!!!!

Howdy! From a native Texan. Good luck with your surgery and welcome to LBT. It is a great souce for information and support.:welcome2:

Congratulations!!!

I had my surgery March 3 in Beaumont TX....so far its been great! I go for my first fill next week.

I haven't regretted one minute. The hardest part was the liquid diet. I thought I would die.

This is a great forum for the banded and the yet to be, and yes even those that have lost their bands for some reason or other. I have belonged for a few mo. and am still waiting to be banded. I have gleened a lot of info, almost all positive, from the people on this forum, and I'm looking forward to joining them sometime in May (at least it looks that way right now). I bet you will do great, and there is nothing you can't ask here. Good luck to you on your journey...hope to join you there soon.

Congratulations and welcome...Native Texan here!!! You are going to love your band! :clap2: Never hesitate to ask a question on this board...someone usually has the answer or great advice. :confused:

We're glad to have you here. Best Wishes!

Welcome Mermoore,

I am in Austin & have been banded for 5 months, it hard work ,but it's the best thing I could have done. Congrates to you & best of luck. Remember we are always here.
