Good evening all,

This my second post. I am one day post-op and doing remarkably well. I am retired military and had my procedure done @Wilford Hall Medical Center (Largest Air Force Hospital located in San Antonio, TX a.k.a MilitaryCity, USA). I have surfed this website most of the day and everyone is very supportive. I have found a tremendous amount of valuable information so far. The ladies are great but I haven't seen very many male banders yet. Since guy's & gals are designed a little differently, I am wondering if their are any "guy" only threads that address the guy problrms/questions? Thank you.

There sure is! There forum call "The Men's Room." It's one of the main reasons I joined this Lap Band Talk. Here is a link below. See you over there.

Just wanted to welcome you, Trench123. I'm a female resident of San Antonio; a Texas native and married to a retired Army man...I'm a nursing student at UTHSCSA and my husband was a nurse. You got good care at Wilford Hall! If you need any help that can come from a rational female perspective (LOL that Is NOT an oxymoron) I'll be glad to help!

pleased to meet both of you. Thank you for the kind words.

Good Luck Steve!

Nothing against the ladies but I do wish there was a guys only section.

My doctor just submitted my docs to the insurance company yesterday. I have UHC in GA and will be anxiously awaiting their "approved" response. I'm 52 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I'm so ready to do this!!!
