What an inspiration.

Thanks !!! I love my band - it is a great tool - I love LBT as it is a great resource for support & education. I follow a weight watchers eating plan cuz I think it is the most well balanced - I can't do straight protien - I need my starches - I don't eat tons - but I do have rice for dinner almost every night.

Hey everyone, I was banded this past July by Dr Liu in Garden Grove, Ca. I was 197 and am now 176. I know it seems like a small weight to start out with, but Im only 5', my BMI was 39....Ive had 3 fills now and it was the last one that really kicked things into gear. Anyone else out there that started at a lower weight like me? Or the same BMI? Id love to chat. :thumbup:))

Hi Echokitty-

I had Dr Liu also. I am 5 ft also and started out at 218. Now am down to 155. I feel great but have stopped losing. I'm at a plateau, but I have not been exercising like I know I'm supposed to. If you wanna chat, drop me a line. Tamjpjb@aol.com.

It went well! He said that I was a good candidate and said I should hear back from their insurance coordinator within a week! Which of course, is WAY too long. He also said I needed a clearance from my primary care doc and an upper GI and a psych eval. I've got them all scheduled, as well as 2 mandatory seminars and as of mid February, I'll be all set and ready to go. As long as my insurance agrees!

Hi, I'm in La Habra . . I started my nutrition counseling in December, and have my psych consult next week. Then they will re-submit for authorization for my surgery. I was declined the first time. (But approved for the education and the consult) My doctor's office says don't worry - that's just how it goes so I'm not worried.

I love this forum though, so far I've been lurking and reading for about a week and I have learned a LOT!

I appreciate all of you and value your wisdom. I don't have any questions - YET - but I'm sure I will.

Just wanted to introduce myself and say a quick hello!
