:Bunny hi there i just thought that i would introduce my self i am due to be banded late june time.

this is the first time that i haqve been on this forum so thought that i would post to say hi.

I am having to do loads of research now as i was sold on the bpd but my surgeon presented a good case for teh lap band and i am happy with my discission.

i got this link off the site that i use in the uk

hope that i will gain lots of tips and maybe make a few friends olong thw way aswell

Hi Braveheart,

Welcome to LBT!

We have several other UK members here - glad to have all of you

There is tons of information here, so... Happy Reading!

Braveheart, Paula's right about UK members -- they will come out of the woodwork and say hello, I'm certain. Audrey in Scotland and her friend Fiona have lost a total of nearly 400 lbs. since they were banded. Ladiebird is near London, I think. And Scotty, where are you? Anyway, with a June surgery date, you have plenty of time to gather information and get sorted. Welcome!

Hi Braveheart,

Glad you decided to get a Band!!

I hope the Brit site was: http://www.wlsinfo.org.uk/

Im in Sunny Lancashire.

Yep - I'm in the UK. London. But I'm Scottish by birth. Fife to be exact. Where are you having your surgery? I had mine done by Mr John Rogers, Princess Grace Hospital. Feel free to PM if you would like.

Hi Braveheart, I'm also from the uk I'm sure you'll get lots of support from everyone.

Just wanted to give you a "BIG" Welcome from Texas!
