Hi my name is Will, I just found this forum on a search. i was looking for some information on a medication and a lap-band. and found this forum handy.

I was approaching my mid forties and my health began to decline. and I was afraid I was going to lose the ability to do the things I love to do, I'm an avid outdoors man.

I had my band placed in January of 06. At the time I started looking into controlling my weight (after all the diets) I weighted 360 lbs.

the band was the best thing i ever did for myself. i set a goal for my self of 200lbs. i currently weigh 235 not far for from my goal.

I will try to keep up with this forum to see how others are doing and let others know how I'm doing

I live in rural Illinois and going to support groups is tough with the price of gas. I wish I had found this earlier.

Hello Will and welcome to LBT. I am glad you are close to goal and have had success. Happy to have you here. Thanks for joining hope to hear more from you.

Hello will and welcome. I am in the early process not banded yet but have a lot to lose. seeing your weight loss gives me hope.
