Hello I'm a lapbander who just discovered this website. I've lost about 40-50 pounds to date as I've had trouble sticking with the eating changes and cheated quite a bit despite my band. However, I'm committed to get serious about this and use the tool i've been given to lose weight and hopefully improve the overall quality of my life. I'm glad to have found a place that has meal suggestions as that has been an issue and if I can somehow be of help to people thinking about having the surgery I'm glad to offer perspective. Also I'm one of the comparably few males who have had the surgery and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in that regard. I look forwarded to chatting with you all.

Hi there, and welcome. When did you get your band? It is easy sometimes to fall back into old habits. That is why I love LBT, you can get inspired here by looking at the before and after pictures, and count on our fellow members to get us back on track.

Check out our men's only forum, you will find some great support there from your fellow male bandsters as well.
