Hello! I am new to the site, and haven't really done anything like this before. I am scheduled for a seminar next week. Really looking forward to this journey. I feel a little scared about all of this and would really appreciate some feed back. I know I need to do this and get back to the living. Look forward to reading your messages.

hi, welcome to LBT. its natural to be nervous, just research the procedure and your doctor. know that this is right FOR YOU.

for me, it was one of the best things ive ever done for myself.

Good luck

I think this procedure is right for me. I am diabetic, type 2 and have been trying to lose weight it seems like forever. Oh, I loose some then gain it back. But I know that the diabetes would diappear if I could just keep the weight off. Seems like I can never get past 15 to 20 lbs. I am getting really excited about having this done.

Hey welcome to LBT, I did my research for about a year and decided what the heck I will go for it , so I went to a seminar and went from there my insurance was a little flip flop at the time , they didnt know if I had to do a 6 month diet thing or not so I had to wait needless to say, then I got a green light in Aug and then ended up changing doc which slowed the process down becuz my first date for surgery was 09/19/08 but that was put off I am now with a new surgeon a better one and next wednesday I am going in to have it done finally!!!!!!!!

good luck to u and welcome

Hi Chrissy. You'll find a lot of great info on this site. I'm a pretty new bandster, but it's been an amazing tool for me so far. I feel like I have a new lease on life. I wish you all the best on your road to good health!
