I was banded April 18th, 2012 by Dr. Ramesh Ramanathan at UPMC Magee Womens Hospital. He not only performed a band but a plication where the stomach is folded up on itself creating a sleeve without actually resecting any tissue. I have lost 28# since surgery. I am 78# lighter than my heaviest weight ever. I look forward to meeting you all, and am happy to have found a band friendly forum!
