Hi,
This is a cool site I just hope I can figure it out!
I want to have the band. I met with the Dr. today. It is exciting to here I'm a good candidate,but sad also.
I think I'm ready. I just look at every meal now as one of my last!
I look forward to this web site and all the info on it.
Have a great night.
Dianne

Hey Sunset...HERE'S your intro! Sorry I missed it...so glad to have you! I hope you will be able to make the get-together being planned on the NC Forum...you will surely find out the real scoop there! I have been banded for almost 3 months and by the time we gather, I will have had my first fill. I'll tell you everything I know!! It's a quick trip up 485 to Concord, so I'll be looking forward to meeting you. Hope you can come!!
Welcome to LBT!!!

Welcome Dianne!
Don't worry we all felt that way I think! :D I still eat everything I did before banding, I just gave up bread, etc. because of the extra calories. It really is worth giving up a few things to lose the weight!

Thanks for your replies.
Can you explain to me what everyone is talking about when they say slime and PB? Is there dumping?
I had my endoscopy yesterday! I'm getting closer! I just need that report and a few others and then it's off to the insurance company!
