Hi! My PCP has put me on the track to get a Lap-Band & I am so relieved! She said that I should have no problem getting approval. I am 5'6" & 255 lbs, so my BMI is about 41. My first consult with the surgeon is at the end of February. I've been considering this for a long time, & now it can't come soon enough!

I'm glad to meet you all! :)

    Hi Bananamoon, and Welcome to LBT.

    I just wanted to let you know that I love my band.

    For the first time in my entire life I weighed less on January 1 than I did on Thanksgiving Day. How cool is that?

    Hugs!
