Howdy from Texas

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!

    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.
