Hey everyone,

I am new to the forum and I just wanted to say hello. I will be having my surgery in June and I wanted to know if it was someone in my area that will be getting the surgery soon. I have my Psy Evaluation Wednesday and I think after that I have to have an upper GI and that is it. I am super excited about having this procedure.

I wish you a lot of luck with your new journey. This site is great to learn the good/the bad and the whatevers. Just ask any question and someone in LBT ville will try to help with the right answers.

Thanks. I have been talking to a lot of people and you hear so many say don't get it it doesn't work and I find that hard to be true. going through this site I see many of people with success with the band. How has your journey been so far? Did you find it difficult at the start?

Hi! I got my band in July 2012 and have lost only 20 lbs. There are some successes and failures but I don't regret it. I'm learning to journey at my own pace and do the best I can. Good luck!

I am doing great. First I am older, was 61 1/2 at the surgery and have been over weight most of my adult life. The Band was the best thing I ever did. I have had 3 fills for a total of about 2 1/2 cc. I try to go to the gym 4-6 times a week. I am losing each month and lots of inches. Some people lose faster than others. One thing I never did was take before measurements and before pictures.

Thanks for responding. I understand what you mean. Everyone is different. I am going to exercise and follow the doctors instructions to a T as well as keep up with my fills. I hear that is very important on order to keep the hunger under control.

Thanks for responding. That is one thing I plan to do is become more active. I am a school teacher so when school starts back I am going to make it a habit to get out there with my students and run around. 75lbs is great !! Continued success

Had my evaluation done on today and it went great. Boy that 300 questionaire they give you at the end to fill out is a doozy. Thank God I am a fast reader. Only thing left now for me to do is my upper GI and thats it. Cone on June lets get this going

I see you had 300 questions. Some one else said they had over 300. I was verbally asked questions and never wrote anything down. Weird how every doctor/hospital does everything different. Glad you're done with that.

Yes it was actually 344. Seem like it went on for ever lol

The surgery was the easiest part the mental was harder for me atleast but my year will be in June I wish u the best but the surgery was the easy part

U had Tt before surgery?

I had the TT back in 2009. My stomach is not big. I just had that extra skin from having two big babies. Lol but my stomach has always been small on my. That's not the problem lol
