Hi everyone. I just had my lap band surgery 3 weeks ago with a wonderful Doc in Monterrey Mexico. I am excited at what the future holds but I do realize that I am still going to have to do some of the work myself. I am hoping I can find support here with other people who have the band. Hope to hear from you guys.

Welcome! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and I am from Washington too!

Hello, Im in Bellevue, WA so welcome aboard! Best wishes!

Congratulations on getting the band. I'm "from" Washington to, lived there most of my life, just moved to Oregon a couple months ago. I am getting banded next week.

Hope everything is going smooth for you.

Hi Tuesday35. I am at the point where the work has definitely begun. The first 35 lbs or so were a breeze. I am finding that I can gain weight now when I eat more than I should or drink alcohol. Best of luck to you with your journey.
