Just wanted to say hello to everyone. A big thankyou to bandayed if this makes it where i want it to go. I was banded Feb 10 2006 by Dr. Marsden and so far good. I got my second fill april 10th that has been hard some days i do just fine, but there have been somedays that i have thrown up. Until this last fill never had,really never even thought of it. I think i may be still eating to fast at times. I have done very well health and weight. I could not take any pain meds. never have been able make me sick. I have to say I did just fine without first day could have used a little help but still made it fine.

I was so glad to have found this site. There are so many ?'s you have but no one to ask them of. I can't tell you how at the (begining) just reading everything gave me the answer I needed,so a big THANK YOU!

Hope I did this ok and if did looking forward to talking to everyone.

Bye

Judy

Hi, and welcome to the forum

Welcome!!! Sounds like you are doing good so far.

Welcome Judy,

I'm glad you are doing so well with your band. I've found a whole new "family" at this site.

Hi Everybody!

I'm still waiting for my insurance to get back to me. I went ahead and joined the Lapbandtalk because I am going to pay cash if my ins. does not pay so I wanted to start looking at the pros and cons of the lapband. When you go to the Seminars, they make it sound like there are no cons but the more I hear, looks like there are plenty of cons but I definitely believe that the pros will certainly out-weigh the cons. I just wish I already hand by band. I will stay in touch and see how everyone is doing. I need to lose 80 lbs. I wish everyone the best!!!

thank you everyone for the welcome it has helped so much. xena it is good you found this site because you will be better for knowing a little about what is going to happen. I just entered computer world after was banded and it has been hard not knowing anything. After found this place so many ?'s answered. I don't know if i would have gone forward if i had read everything before. I did band more to stop loseing and then gaining it all back again to start all over. That is still my hope that i will be able to keep it off after i get where i want to be.

thanks for warm welcome
