I am new to this website and wanted to jump right in and say hi to everyone! I was banded on June 27, 2007. Looking forward to getting to know you, finding help along the way, and giving my newbie two cents where appropriate.

Welcome Angie, to both Bandland, and to LBT. I look forward to getting to know you and hearing of your progress and experiences along the way!!!

Thanks Kat,

Congrats on your awesome weight loss so far. I am looking forward to learning from the "pros."

Would never go so far as to call myself a pro---but I do love my band, and how it has changed my life!!!

I love LBT, there are so many helpful, knowledgable people here, and they are very supportive, and willing to bounce ideas around when you have a question. I think you will find the site to be invaluable!

Anyone who has lost as much weight as you have and is almost at goal is definitely a pro. You go girl!

Hi, Angie. I'm Angie! Had surgery August 17th. Not much experience yet, but getting there. Still on liquids and soooooooooooo looking forward to mushies! Welcome!

Angie

Thank you and congrats on being newly banded. The first few weeks were hard, but were also a great way for me to "detox" off of carbs. I was lucky enough not to have to do the pre-surgery diet so wasn't in quite as much "lapband hell" as a lot of people talk about. Mushies were great and I also looked forward to them. Good job on your weight loss so far and thanks for the welcome! Take care of yourself and don't overdo! Looking forward to getting to know you.
