Hi I am a 58 year old female and am scheduled to be banded on June 20th. I have been spending many hours on obesityhelp.com trying to learn all I can about this surgery and this major change to my life. But one thing I notice when I scroll through the "before and after" pictures is that I have yet to find one who was lap banded. I would love to see before and after pictures and read stories about bandsters. Can anyone point me to the right place for that?

Hello there, glad to have you join us. You might try going to the general lap band forum and then go under before and after photos. You will see amazing transformations. They are truly inspiring for those of us trying to make the decision or perhaps in the process of being banded. Best of luck to you, and I will keep you in my prayers for your upcoming surgery.

Thank you so much! I did just find this site and came to the introductions first. I will go look at that section right away!

Susan yes I did find the before and after pictures. I spent many hours going through ALL of them. They are truly an inspiration - as are you!
