[i was banded in Mexico 2006, November at Hospital Angeles and live in Utah. It was a wonderful experience but I didn't get the help I needn't afterwards, like support.]

Hey Utahns!!

So after weeks of battling IHC (i lost) I've decided to just finance my band and go to Mexico. I'm now trying to decide which doc in Mexico to use, and who to see for fills after.

I'm so happy to have found this site...I never would have made this decision if it weren't for all the wonderful support from everyone here!

Hoping to be banded sometime in the next 6 weeks or so.

[i need your help. I was banded in 2006 in November and I have not lost any weight, mainly because I haven't done the right thing and I don't know what that is exactly.]

Hi

I am Janet and I am a recovering food addict :wink2:

I was banded 7/17/07 - My starting weight was 250 - I'm 5'4

Today (just over 10 months out) I am 154 - size 8 pants (was 18/20) Medium tops (was 22/24)

I got banded as I wanted to extend the years that I have left on this planet and to do that I knew that I needed to lose weight.

The band has been the tool I needed. For the first time in my life I have been able to achieve this goal (actually getting to my goal weight)

If you want a buddy - support - help - suggestions - Please feel free to call upon me - I will gladly share my journey with you - the journey is still on going and by helping you I will be helping me (staying motivated and accountable) and then one day you can pay it forward and help someone else.

I had my lap band surgery 4 years ago. I've had one fill. I have decided that since I spent so much money on this procedure that I need to get back on track. I need support and motivation from anyone/everyone. What works for you might work for me. I have about 50 lbs to lose.
