Hello Ya'll:

I am a 30 year old female from Florida who moved to southern Georgia about a year ago. I am pretty sure that I was googling my chunky butt off when I came across this forum. I am thrilled to death that I found it thought. The pictures on here are simply amazing!!! I can only hope tp have such results. I have not been banded yet. If all goes well, I will have the surgery done on 2/25/08, here in GA, with Dr. Bagnato. I think that he has done over 500 of these procedures.

I have never had a single surgery in my entire life. So yeah, I am kinda nervous as hell right now.

I hope all goes well.

take care. Thanks for having me.

Drop me a message sometimes. I woud love to make some new friends along my journey. i dont care about age, gender, location, race, or any of those trivial things that don't really matter to me.

best wishes to all.

HI BB

I am a 5'1'' 30 year old female and residing in Atlanta. My band date will be on Feb 27. I am so excited!

Isn't this site great? I have learned a lot just from this site.

I hope to be banster buddies!!!

Hi! I am from south Georgia also. Live in Blackshear, but had surgery in Waycross. I am 55 years old and teach school. I have weight issues all my life and am now willing to face them. I am learning what a stronghold food has in my llife. This is not going to be an easy journey, but definitely a very worthwhile one. I want to be able to keep up with my precious 3yr old grandaughter!

Hey Shampoo, you are getting banded on my birthday! I will be thinking about you. Are you excited?

Hey all...I'm also from S. GA and hoping to be banded by Dr. Bagnato soon. I'm working on the money portion now since I'm self-pay. About $4K more to go!

Apparently, I'm really excited...double post here!

Hi there, and welcome to LBT! I started off in Central Florida, then we moved to Duluth, which is basically Atlanta for awhile. That area was just way to busy for me. So, we relocated back to Florida about 4 years ago. We ended up in Jacksonville and absolutely love it here.

Anyways, glad you found us.

Hey Shampoo, you are getting banded on my birthday! I will be thinking about you. Are you excited?

Hi Teachr5thgrade -

Yup really excited!!!! I will be thinking about you too while I am getting ready for surgery!!!!

Welcome!

I live in Decatur and am recently banded. There are a lot of Dr. Bagnato patients floating around here so you're in good company!

Good luck.
