Beckie

I live in Fortuna (N. Cal near Eureka) and was banded on November 21, 2006 by Dr. Jossart at Good Samaritan in San Jose. It has been a great experience so far. I have lost 35 lbs (stuck here for 1 week though) and getting my first fill on Friday. I can't wait for the fill since I am having no restriction. 4 more days. :biggrin1: Would love to find support people.

Thanks for putting the video here. I am going in for my first fill this friday and wan't sure of what to expect. Doesn't look bad at all.

My family has definately benefited since I had the band put on November 21, 2007. My 15 year old son decided that if I couldn't drink sodas that he wouldn't and he could really down them before. My 18 year old daughter who stuggles with her weight is watching what she eats and my 12 year old son has become more active. My husband hasn't changed alot of his habits but I know the food coming into the house is alot more healthy than it was before the banding. Rarely any fried food, lots less carbs and alot more fresh vegies. :clap2: Starting weight 246 11/21/06 Today 211
