Just wanted to say hello and become a member here. I have been reading post for a while now. I am scheduled for the band on August 14. Excited and truly ready to start out on this new path.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Glad you found this site. I have enjoyed it very much.

I had researched the band for several years and after yo-yo dieting most of those years, I finally got tired of all those failures and decided I needed to take control of my life. I was banded on June 30th and my only regret is not doing it sooner.

You will go through many emotional and physical changes throughout your journey and we are all here to provide you with support and encouragement.

Best wishes,

Stephanie

welcome to LBT. good luck.
