WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME RUTH!!!!

Always nice to have new members join our board. I hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do.

I had RNY and don't know much about the Lapband however there are others on here that do. I am sure you will get some good information.

I wish you the very best on the greatest journey of your life!!

I want to join in with the Welcome Committee !  Glad to have you, Ruth !

I had lapband surgery and love my band - it was an easy recovery and I have had 2 fills - still have restriction and feel great about my loss.  Congratulations on making the decision to do something to improve your life.  I know for me, I have more energy than I have in a long time.

Welcome!  Congratulations on your WLS decision.

I got my band when I was 59.  My ins wouldn't pay for mine, so I had mine done in Mexico.  My DH is 68 and he is getting his band in Feb.  Medicare is paying for his.
