Hi, welcome to LapBandTalk. There are lots and lots of people here who are ready and willing to share their experiences and answer any questions you have.

Best wishes on your journey.

thanks for the welcome! if you don't mind me asking, how was your surgery? any complications?

I was banded in Mexico, which may sound scary but was actually very simple and stress free. The only complication I've experienced was an irritated esophogus which healed up nicely with Nexium. That's it.

Surf around LBT. Ask questions. People are always willing to help out when they can. Cheers!
