How Did You Find Out About LapBandTalk.com?

Please mark your answer and discuss it below!

I use Google as a search engine. I wanted not only a place to learn more about the band, but my priority was a chat room so I can connect real time with other bandsters

I Google searched information on Lap-bands, This was one of the pages that popped up with information on it. I started looking around and never left... I dont think I ever will. I love it here,

I googled lapband forums, when I started researching the band back in January

Google for me. I'm so glad to have found this site as you guys are my biggest source of support. I've also met some really great people and one of my best friends here. I'll be here for awhile.

Googled lapband support groups I think Glad I found this awesome site!

I Googled as well. The program coordinator at the hospital where I will be banded recommended another site, one hosted by the band manufacturer. I checked it out but it's more of a marketing tool. I like Lapband Talk for the real people who are contributing their experiences, ideas, ups and downs, etc. It's very human and doesn't feel like promotion. And tapping into that collective knowledge base is really something. All in all a compassionate group of people as well. Thanks for your role in making it happen!

Google. I think it would be a good idea to have pamphlets about LBT located at weight loss centers (for example True Results). I've learned more on LBT than I did at TR.

In my pre op class, the nurse stressed what a valuable resource LBT was. I went home, signed up, and I've been hooked ever since. My fill nurse has also referred to the site on several occasions.

Google. There are a few lapband sites for Australians but I wanted one that was big and had a lot of information in it from a diverse group of people.

Hi Everyone,

I learned about this site from my surgeons office. It is by far the best source of information out there.

I have learned so much valuable information from all of you over the past six months. Your knowledge and compassion is admirable.

Google, I found one other site from Australia, been so long this board just seems like home.

I was given several websites from my LapBand office. I was on lapband.com until they stopped the my journey section. That is when I decided to come to lapbandtalk to see what it was all about and have been hooked ever since.

I wanted more information regarding all aspects of the LB journey. A friend told me she learned the most from LB-forums, so I googled and found this site.

I had just finished my 6 month learning to eat right phase and my nutritionist was putting in my info for my insurance to be approved when it suddenly hit me....OMG I'm finally going to get a band......so that night I did a Google search on "lap band" and I seen a chat site LBT ...I was so excited only wish I had know about it during those 6 months........thanks Alex !
