My name is Sonja, I was banded on May 4, 2005. I had a great experience with my doc and love him. I had my surgery here in ND, and I am doing well. I have had 2 fills, the last one is pretty good so far. I have lost about 36 pounds so far, (Including my pre-surgery liquid fast.) Hey, it is pounds lost, so I am including those! Anyway, I am so happy to have gotten the band.

I have a wonderfully supportive hubby and great daughter. I am at peace with my decision to change my life and am looking forward to the journey and getting to know all of you!

Hey there, Welcome to LBT,,,,

I'm still in the process of getting the surgery....

Welcome to the LBT...I to have a wonderful supportive husband but having other bandsters to talk to is great...

Again welcome...

Sonja you are really doing good with your band. So glad you found us here on LBT!!! Good luck with your continued success!

Thanks guys!

Hello everyone! I am currently awaiting approval for my lapband procedure! I have done my research long and hard and I feel I have made the right choice! I have been overweight all of my life and I am really excited about the big change! I have read so many of your inspirational stories so far. I am looking forward to posting a ticker to chart my progress. I had to get 2 years of medical history from my specialist along with just the general facts, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, etc. I am a medical care provider and our insurance will approve the procedure it just takes so dang long! I am looking forward to it though thanks to all the posts.

Hello Everyone,

I had my band done last Monday with Dr Barker in Mesquite, and love it already, though I will be happy when I am able to taste real food again. I found LBT the other day, and so happy that I did. You all are a GREAT bunch! I have learned so much just reading what you all have gone through. Helps a great deal. My next project is to figure out how to get the Ticker going.
