Just arrived on the scene today, and feeling my way around the site.
My surgery(LAP) is the 27th. Looking for helpful hints and advice.Just found this area, and I have friend requests to some of you. That quote
from Tom was terrific on the feelings between eating someyhing, and
feeling thin.Would love to bottle that one. Hope to talk to you guys again.

Welcome KatieKeane!! I am preparing your spot on the Loser's Bench in our Winner's Circle. Know you are welcome here any time, and we will try to answer your questions.

Good luck on your journey. There will be plenty of ups and downs, but more ups then downs (unless of course you are talking about pounds).

Hope to hear from you soon.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Hi Tom C.  Thanks for the welcome!
Having Lap-Band on 27th
Not a big computer user, but thought I'd try this. Thought the support would be great to have.
So far made two friends, you and Kathie B.. And, I had one risque proposition from someone called Banilda ??? Nothing like welcoming me on baard big time.{HA}
Should I not click personal messages, if you don't mind me asking? Not familiar with using a site like this,  the do's and don'ts..
How do I reach the Lap-Band people. Sounds like the Munchkin people
in Wizard of OZ
Nice chatting

KatieKeane,

I would say clicking personal messages within OH is fine. In the 3+ years I have done this I never heard of anyone getting a virus from a PM. However, like any good "security" if your PM has a link attached within IT - you may want to refrain from clicking it unless (A) you really know that person (B) you verify the person sent you the link.

For the Lap-band forum, click this link

Yes, it's legit :D.

Not matter which band you chose, or whatever operation you decide - you don't even need to have an operation - no matter what know I, and the rest of us, are here for you.

And as a wise person once said "You're not in Kansas any more". Woof :D
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom

Welcome, I am pretty new here myself.. I was realize banded on March 8th, six weeks tomorrow, but honestly it has gone by so fast.. it was such a journey to get to here, but it was so worth it.. and everyone here is great with information, support and feedback.

i wish you luck, and though I am new, I might be able to answer questions about what I went through if you have any.. Tom is a great go to person.. he knows his stuff, and helped me out a ton.. but everyone has some great stories.

Take Care,

Country - V
