Greetings from Beantown

Hi Everyone-

I am brand new to this forum (or any Lap Band forums for that matter) and wanted to say hello. I am 9 mos post op on the 3rd of July and haven't regretted a single part of the decision to have the Lap Band placed. It's not without its struggles, as you all know, but it's been so incredibly worth it so far. This really has been the tool that I needed to get my weight OFF!!!

I am in Boston, MA (had my Band placed at MGH) and would love to see if there are more Banders out there in my neck of the woods. Most of the patients at the MGH Weight Center are Bypass patients and it's been great getting to know them as well! I'd also love any general thoughts or advice or tips that anyone has to share.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone I look forward to getting to know this Forum a little better.

Best,
BeantownDiva

Hi! I am going in to be banded tomorrow - in Norwood at Norwood Hospital. Glad to meet you and know you are doing well with the band. I am a little nervous and excited!

Congrats! I am also in the process of appointments at BIMDC. I am from RI, but I have BCBS of MA so I can only get it done in Boston.
