My name is Ada and I just got lap-band surgery almost two weeks ago and I have really no one to talk to about it so I was excited to find this forum. It's been hard because I am just feeling down, not about the surgery but I just have no one to talk to like I said.

Anyway, I hope to see you all around.

Hi Adabell,

Welcome to LBT! :ranger: You never have to be alone when you are on this forum. You will find many friends here that will help you on your way and if you need someone else to talk to just pm me and I will try to help. I have suffered from depression for about 15 years so I do understand how you feel.

Take care,

Adabell, Hi I just got banded last friday. Congrats to you on your new journey. I wish you all the best. I come home each day and read the new posts, looking for new information. You have a wealth here. Good Luck and Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome guys! I am to excited to be here now because I feel like I found my people cause everyone here understands what's going on with my band because they have bands. :clap2:

Hi Ada, Welcome & Congratulations on your band and weight loss.

Sorry that you are feeling alone but you don't have to worry about that now that you have found us here @ LBT. I don't have my band yet but I have found this site to be most helpful as I move through the process towards getting it.

Well, if you need someone to talk to you have come to the right place! Welcome, and feel free to bear your soul whenever the need arises. Everyone is very supportive and understanding from what I have seen so far. I am a big talker and have discussed the plan to be banded Oct. 1 with all of my co-workers and family so it feels great to talk about it. My DH, on the other hand wants to keep his band private and has not told his co-workers or family of his plans. To each his own, right? Welcome! and I am looking forward to talking to you more.

Hi Ada! I had Lapband Surgery on 7/24/07 and have lost 18 lbs since 7/13/07 when put on the special Protein program. So we're both new to this new way of life. It's exciting to be losing weight! Finally! Will be glad to chat with you. Congrat!
