HiEveryone

This is my first time on this sight, I have been surfing the net looking for a support group.

Where do i start, I am having the Lap band op next month and like a lot of other people i am both excited but also very scared, I am hoping that i will get some good feedback from you all.

regards

Jan

Jan,

Welcome to LBT

It is a bit scary and no matter what we tell you you'll still have the feelings, But want you to know my surgery went extremely well and my recovery was quick and painless. If I had to do over knowing what I know now I'f have not one ounce of fear.

Hope this helps

A BIG HOWDY FROM TEXAS!!!

Glad to have u here. There is alot of useful information on here and alot of wonderful people! I love my band, wouldn't trade it for nuttin!!!!

read as much as you can here Jan, you'll learn loads - most questions you may want to ask have already been answered here somewhere - Welcome & best of luck on your journey xx

I don't know Kelly,

I maybe be tempted to turn mine in for a nice new shiney Corvette...But then without the band and what it has done for me I probably won't fit in the vet.

Jan: Welcome aboard. Lots of good info floating around these here boards. Dive in.

Knowing my luck, I would give up the band and then the next day total the new Corvette!!!

Hi Jan,

I'm in Perth. I had my surgery on 11th feb. and cannot believe how quickly I felt great. I was surprised how scared I was, but it all went smoothly.

You will probably find everything you need on this site.

Take care,

Rachel.

Oh yes Kelly ...but won't have as much trouble with insurance company on getting the $60,000.00 for a new Vet as you would with getting $15,000.00 for a new band
