New to Website & Getting Back to Basics

Hello,

I just found this website a couple of days ago and wanted to say hello.  There seems to be a lot of infomation and support here. 

I had Lap Band 10-28-05 and stayed on track for several months. I gave up after my weight loss stalled and after severel hurdles I am finally ready to get back to doing what I should be doing to lose the weight.  I have an appt with my doctor on Monday to get approval to get my fills started again. 

I hope to get to know you all and give/receive the support needed in this journey.

Have a blessed weekend.

Welcome to the site! I dont get on often but it is a good place for support. I find it helps whenever im feeling a little off track. Its also a great place to find local support groups.

 Welcome Lori,

You may also want to check out the Lap band message Board since there isn't alot of lapbanders on the TMB.   Come here too though.  LOL  I don't mean go away !!!!  Just that you will get lots of support there also from people who have the lapband.    You are right....we are very supportive group of people on here.    Good luck with your appointment.   May I suggest that you find a local support group and attend it on a regular basis....that will help you tremulously .   

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Thank you Elsa and Vivian.  Look forward to getting to know you.  Vivian, I will check out the Lap Band forum.

Hi, Lori. I'm getting back on this board. I  am on the lapband board more often. :) This whole site is great and very supportive. :)

LORI-Welcome to the TMB Family!! We have several  very SUCCESSFUL lapbanders here-off the top of my head I can name CHRIS & KRIS (they are married to each other) and my BFF, TRACEY...plus several others, who may not post as often...they have collectively lost HUNDEDS of lbs and know all bout y'all's "fills" and "sweet spots" and all that lapband stuff. I'd suggest you be specific in the subject line of your post, so they'd know you were asking something about the lapband.

The "traffic" here is typically slower on the weekends, so be patient and post often. No one is being rude-just busy living life. There is NO better support and love anywhere. I'm old and have been around a long, long time, and KNOW what I'm taking about!!

Again, welcome to the family!

Thank you Denise and Gina.  I look forward to am awesome journey!

Welcome to the TMB Lori!!!  I am also a lapbander and have been so happy with my results!!!  I hope your appt. with the doctor goes well on Monday and you can start getting your fills again!  Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with... or you just need someone to talk to!!

Thank you Paige - I'm sure I will be reaching out for help and have questions.  It's been so long since I've thought about utilizing my band I can't even remember how to eat!!  But I'm sure that will all come back.  I hope I will be able to get my fill appointment this week as well as I'm so anxious to get started.  Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Lori

Good luck and welcome!
