Well I sure hope so. I really don't understand why it wouldn't. I am 50 exactly, and was banded 6 mos ago and am already down 86 lbs. So I'm optimistic. And no I don't exercise super intensely. I do exercise, I can't run like Jachut with my knee pain (looking at a replacement maybe next year) but I do the elliptical, recumbant bike and I do weights. I think whether or not it's possible depends on the patient and how willing they are to follow the 'bandster rules'. The band works only as good as you work the tool.

Just in from shovelling AGAIN! It snowed a little bit more and if you don't get it off the north facing driveway right way you get ice. I vowed to never have a north facing driveway so what do I have? LOL

Laura, I missed where you posted about your dad. Sorry to hear the news wasn't good. Tree looks beautiful. I have a Droid too it is the Droid X I like it a lot, I can't do some of the more techy stuff (like LBT LOL) but I can do email and Facebook on it and camera. OH and I have Angry Birds downloaded, LOVE that game.

Well I slipped and slided my way on these roads to Kohls to use my Kohls bucks and I can't find anything. Isn't that how it is, when you have free money you can't find anything? DH says we'll go back tonight and he could use some work clothes, but he's so hard to fit and usually needs talls which they don't carry. If nothing else there was a cheap cashmere sweater there for $50 and then I'll spend the other $30 on kitchen gadgets.

I went to Dr. Snyder for a variety of reasons. My son worked for him and says he is the best and most experienced Dr. in Denver. I was self pay and he is more expensive but When I was in for a fill I heard his nurse say Dr. Kirshenbaum was sending Dr. Snyder a patient and that reinforced my decision. Dr. Snyder has many classes, support groups, online chats, cooking classes,exercise classes and many support systems. His staff is great at fills and they don't hurt at all. I have been extremely happy with my banding experience with Dr. Snyder. My son is a Surgical Assistant and has worked with most bariatric doctors in Denver and swears Dr. Snyder is the best. I hope you enjoy his seminar. They are great! Let us know who you decide on and good luck.
