Hello everyone, I just found this board today, I have been posting on the OH board. I am to be banded on the 22nd of May. and have finished all my hoop jumping for insurance, I have to finish up my nutrition visits ,once a month in April. Wondered if anyone else was due to be banded around that time. I live on Long Beach Island in New Jersey and am having my surgery at Southern Ocean County Hospital or SOCH, as we call it. I have four grown children and two grandsons and another on the way in May. My husband and a few close friends are the only ones I have told,because I don;t think my children would be supportive. I have lost this weight so many times before but it comes back with friends!! I think they would think I was taking the easy way out, But you and I know that is NOT the case. We need this tool to help on this journey to health and happiness. Just wanted to say hi and I will be reading all the posts from you who have been newly banded as I am like a sponge right now reading everything I can get my hands on.:cursing:

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

I post on OH too because I ended up not getting a band and I need to check in with my sleeve "peeps" but I love it here so much that I won't go away. :cursing: I hope you enjoy LBT too. Definitely the software is easier to navigate!
