Just newly banded on December 19th. I have lost 18 lbs. so far and have about 76 more lbs. to go. I'm excited to join and visit with other people who may be experiencing the same thigns as myself.

Hi there.. I am new here also. Wow... banded right before teh holidays.... very brave! Congrats!!

Welcome, congrats on your success so far. Be sure to look for the Dec. 06 bandsters thread. It will be a group of everyone banded this past December. It is great to share your journey with people in the exact same stage. I love my Aug 06 group!

I went to tickerfactory.com and filled out a timeline, but don't know how to get it to lapband talk.... any suggestions?:phanvan

hmmm I have seen other people who are better at describing how to do it, but I will give it a try. Go to your profile and edit signature. Copy the link on tickerfactory.com. then click the button that looks like a mountain in the edit signature screen. delete the http:// that is already filled in and paste the link in the pop up window. That should do it. I use Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste.

I hope that helps, like I said I have seen people who are very good at describing how to do this so if I confused you try a search for ticker on the blue menu bar.

Good luck!
