Hi all, first I'd like to say thanks. This is my first visit to LBT and the insight that I've gotten is already helpful. I was banded 6 days ago at the Wish Center in Arizona. I love all the responses from the ladies, but was wondering if there are any other guys who have been banded on the forum? No particular reason, just looking for other guys that have had it done.

Thanks again

Benet

You have joined a very elite club. Yes, I am one of the gals too, but I'm glad some of the guys have spoken up. They're really great guys that we don't hear enough from, like DeLarla says, we're too busy yakking it up! You'll just have to get pushy with us sometimes, we eventually get the hint, LOL!

Welcome and hope all is going well with your recovery. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Benet hi! welcome to the BandLand

sorry .. but again a girl here

Hi and welcome and welcome to LBT. A part of the estrogen crew here!

Benet,

I found the same thing, not many men on this site. I am Male 47 started weight 265, was banded 09-28-05, no fill yet, down to 246, would like to get down around 200, It will probably take a while. It seems our weight and size or similar. I am als a Type II Diabetic, it has all got better, would like to get off meds one day!

Dano,

Hey I'm a type too diabetic also. But as I've lost the weight I came off of all my meds. My last Hb A1c test was less than 5 which is well into the normal range. I really think that the exercize that I've been doing ( 1hr 5-6x weekly) has a lot to do with it since exercize decreases insulin resistance.

Benet

Wow, You have done really well with your weight! I have talked to another banded from New Orleans like us, he has done well too. I can't wait to see 200 and maybe I can come off meds. Keep in touch with me

Hey there!

As a chap myself, I've noticed there's a distinct lack of WLS men on this site.

Not that I'm complaining - I'm a computer programmer, and that's all guys - It's nice to be in a female-heavy environment for a change.

For some reason, computing tends to attract men, and a specific type of men, too - I can no longer count the number of Star Trek related conversations I have had.
