    Welcome Joe!

    Sounds like you are takin' care of business! I am quite the newbie myself as I have only had my banded since last Monday. This is a great site in that we give each other support and information about this journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

    Best of luck,

    Darla

    Hi and Welcome to LBT! Sounds like you're moving along accordingly, step by step. It also sounds as though you have a good doctor, recommending the band and not the RNY. The band is a much easier, safer, and adjustable procedure than RNY and if you're not happy with it, it can be reversed, unlike the RNY.

    You've picked a good group to join. We like to think we are the very best at being supportive, informative and caring here. Everyone is really awesome here and I think you'll enjoy being part of this very special group.

    If you have any questions, just post a thread. Someone will always answer.

    Good luck on your journey.
