  12. saw your pictures... you look fabulous! Tremendous success :)

  13. Hello! I was banded a month before you- I have a horrible time trying to find the foods that I *can* eat! Hopefully we can be some good use for one another =)

  14. Hello! My name is Melissa- 28 from Cleveland, Ohio. I Had LB surgery on July 14th, 2009 in Detroit, Mi. I was self pay and Dr. Webber at Harper Hospital was the cheapest with an excellent background I went in at 303 lbs and am now around 185 (depending on the scale, grrr) My whole entire journey has been excellent! I wouldn't change one thing! There's nothing like being able to play tag with my kids or hide and seek and hide anywhere! =) I'm looking for new ideas for diet- MY hair (very thin) and my skin (very dry) I'm also interested in hearing opinions and personal experiences of Panniculectomy procedures (don't hold it against me if I posted wrong! Still trying to figure this site out =)
