I love this site!

This is my first posting. I absolutely love this site, every one here is so nice and supportive, i have learned more things here than any other place i have been to including meeting and seminars.

First, my name is Geen, i'm a Latina 30ish. I have been banded since 4/7/08 i weighed 296lbs to day 2/7/09 i weigh 223 lbs, my goal is to be at 180lbs:w00t:. This has been such an amazing journey for me, i just love all the weight coming off, its been hard but so worth it. i feel amazing and i just cant wait to get to my goal, keep you posted... mu@@@h:tongue:

Good Luck, you seem to be doing so well. Yes this is a great site It has carried me all the way through it. I AM NOW DEALING WITH THE GAS I JUST WAS BANDED ON THE 5TH AND BOY THIS GASS IS KICKING MY BUTT.

TAKE CARE, MICHELLE

I believe it has to do with the surgery, my MD said he had to fill my stomach with air for the surgery and it would take 2- 4 weeks for my system to get back to normal. Lots of luck !
