Hi There! I'm new to LBT and am very excited as I begin the journey to a healthier and happier me. I just went to my first seminar and consultation at Dr. Spiegel's office and am waiting for approval from my insurance companies. I look forward to my experience with this community and welcome your feedback and advice.

Hi,

Welcome to LBT. Good luck with your insurance companies and on your weight loss journey. LapBandTalk was a great resource for me while I researched the band.

I had mine done by Dr. Spiegel on Sept 28 and down between 90 and 95. You'll do great. His nurses are awesome...

Hello Houstonians! Check out this link for our Houston potluck on May 27. Everyone is welcome. Several of us are Spiegel patients, so please feel free to ask any questions, too.

Welcome. I was going to have mine done by Dr. Spiegel, but now have changed to Dr. St. Laurent. What a difference in approaches. You will find wonderful information on this site and lots of new friends. Hope you get a fast approval and can get started. I still have a month to go, but the approval is completed.

Welcome to LBT!!! Good Luck to you!

Welcome to LBT. I hope you can make the potluck on the 27th.
