I have learned alot on obesityhelp from the bandters and I hope to l learn and enjoy the bandters on Lap Band Talk. 236-240lbs now gool 127lbs.

Hey Georgina

Welcome to LBT! Glad you found us.

Check out the FAQ and Reference Forum for some great threads that will help you get better prepared for your surgery.

All the best..

Hi and welcome to LBT! I think you will like it here. I visit OH once in a while, but find LBT much easier to navigate and like the fact that it is devoted strictly to the band.

Hi Georgina!

I'm new like you and still waiting for my surgery. Glad to see you on this site. OH was helpful, but I've found much more topic specific things on this site that were oh so helpful. Good luck to you!!!!
