Hi, my name is Barbara. I'm 48 years old and I am going through the program for Lap-band. Since I've just started the program, I think my surgery will be in December 2007 or January 2008 as my insurance carrier requires a 6 month program. I look forward to reading all of your post as I believe I will find lots of help here with questions and concerns.

Welcome to LBT! Good luck with your journey!

I had to have a 6 month program before my surgery. Do what they say and try hard. I wish I would have been more compliant then. I took the time before surgery to BINGE! I am now restarting, but thank God for fresh starts! Good luck to ya!

Hi Barbara --- welcome --- I am from MA, too. I have started my program, too. Surgery will probably be in Oct 2007 -- I will be having my surgery at Emerson Hospital -- Where are you having your surgery?

Blessing to you,

Anni

Hi Iluvharleys, and thanks for the welcome. I have to ask if you ride your own Harley? I ride my own, but I have a Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe. Big bike, but I'm a big girl!
