:girl_hug: Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Katt and I was "banded" on Friday, October 13, 2006. My surgeon was Dr. Leung/Surrey, BC. I am very excited as I have lost 25lbs. thus far! I am on clear liquids, and will be for 30 days (hope I can make it!). I thank God that He gave me this tool to help with my weightloss; I feel the band is going to help me achieve what I was not able to do on my own: eat from the Canada Food Guide food groups, exercise and eat "small" meals! Success will be mine! I look forward to chatting with y'all and sharing experiences.

Katt.

Hi Katt and welcome. You are doing great so far. I love your attitude, it is so positive and will definitely help you get through the liquid stage. If you have any questions as you start your journey, please don't hesitate to ask.

Congrats Kat! You have a winning attitude and surely you will WIN this battle! Keep coming back for support....

Hi everyone - I'm new to the forum, just found it today! I have finished my 6 months of dr. visits and the charts have been sent to the insurance co. for approval so I am just impatiently awaiting to hear from them. I have heard that my insurance usually ok's it. I hope to have it done before the first of the year. Its very encouraging reading everyones progress and looking at the before and after pictures. I'm so glad I found you!

Welcome to LBT and bandland! You are doing great, keep up the good work!
