Hi. I share with my spouse or kids depending on the meals ordered. Most places give way more food than anyone person should eat anyway. I am so proud of my band. I just ask for a clean plate:hungry:. Down 36 lbs in 4 mos.

Mine cost 15k Dr. Spiegel in Houston ,Tx. Have a couple of frinds that went to Mexico for 8000.00 Good Luck!

Hello fellow March 2007 bandster's. I,M down 16 lbs. Feeling great. Hope all of you are doing well. Now, it's time to exercise. God bless us all and continue to see us through.:clap2:

Hey Guy's, I'm a 3/8/07 band baby and am down 12 lbs as last night. Also being strong and following MD's orders. WT.240 lbs day of surgury.

Oh boy gettin tired of no solid food. The feeling of hunger has changed. It is still there, but drinking a slim fast still does the trick ,but i am limited to only 3 cans aday .Jello(sf) and non carb. drinks also (sf).Don't really measure up to a hambuger!!!!!!!! I knew going in to this it would be diff. for me. I am ready to change mylife to eat less and finially be healthy. God is my strenght in this, Greater is that is me, then he that is the world. and remember where God has brought you from and the blessing aforded you.
