I am new to this site and don't quite understand what to do. Help!!!

Just look around, read people's questions and answers, and if you have some of your own, pipe up.

Welcome tommyboy. Yup, like she said, read and post.

Are you considering the band or are you already banded?

Thanks for the info. I am kinda new at computer talk but will try my best. I am considering Lap Band and attened the seminar last week. I have a doctors appt. the middle of August. Anything I should know before I go?

Hi Tommyboy... I'm new here too... the best thing you can do is read everything here you can! I've spents many, many hours reading here and feel like I really know how this surgery works and what to expect...

I'm sure the professionals you'll be working with will have literature for you === and that they'll explain everything very clearly... but there is nothing like reading first-hand questions, concerns, comments, hints, tips and more...

There is so much here, it's amazing! On top of these posts, you can also read journals, and do LIVE CHATS with others... just click around and be ready to READ!!!

The band is a TOOL to help you lose weight... and I see this board as another VERY IMPORTANT tool!

Best wishes...

Hi, I am also new, but I think you read what other people have to say then post a reply if you feel like it. Or you can open a thread if you need information that you don't see addressed. Have you had the procedure yet? I won't have mine until Oct 1, but i am trying to learn as much as I can to improve my chances of success.
