I was banded on April 18, 2006 by Dr.Ortiz/Dr. Martinez in TJ, Mexico. I had the surgery along with my two daughters. We formed a family support group.:clap2:

The girls seem to losing faster than I, but that's ok because I had less to lose. As long as I see my waist bands getting looser is all that matters to me....slow but sure! lol

Good luck and God speed to all those on the same journey!

Hi Dreamer, Welcome to LBT!!!

Congratulations on getting the band. I think its great you got to do it along with your daughters!! How fun!

I appreciate the welcome and words of encouragement. My younger daughter has already lost 45#'s....isn't that awesome? The older daughter is down about 28# total...and I'm struggling along...lol I need to work out some and get those muscles toned, but after working 8 hours a day with the heat soaring to 112 degree's, all I want to do is come home and cool off! lol

I am starting to read alot more in this forum and hopefully I can become an asset to those who need help as I did in making my decision to be banded.

Thanks again for the welcome...and good luck to you on your journey!

Jack, thank you so much for the welcome. I have struggled with my weight all my adult life, and at last I have hope of finding myself again...the real me, that is! (Smilin')

Keep up the good work on your journey, and it is "work" isn't it? No one ever said it would be easy....but I'd do it all over again!

Have a great week.....can yoiu believe August is upon us? lol

Welcome, how cool it that? You have your own support group. Congratulations to you all.

Good evening to you and thanks so much for the welcome. Yes, my daughters and I are doing well after being banded in April. It's amazing that we had the same surgery, but we all have different reactions to it.

Just goes to show that God in His infinite wisdom made us all gloriously, unique and different! lol

Thank you so much for the welcome..Good luck to you and your continued success,,,and I, too, believe that there are indeed angels among us!!!
