July total was 72 miles.

On a side note to my post about Nike+, My wife and I have been getting our sneakers at Sports Authority, we bought our nikes for like $100 bucks each, and then they sold us this "warranty" for $10 bucks.... whenever we bring our sneakers back to "trade up", we only have to pay the $10 bucks again for another warranty! Its great... I am on my 3rd pair of new sneakers in 5 months and still reusing my original $100 bucks. It's no scam, I have had zero problems during the returns. The warranty is supposed to be good for like 12 or 13 months from date of purchase. I don't know if you can do this online, as we have purchased ours at the store itself.

This is really good if you plan on walking or running a lot, instead of paying 5 or 6 hundred dollars a year, you put in the inital investment and then pay only $10 bucks each time you want new sneakers!

Hope someone finds this useful!

If you end up getting the Nike+, see my other post and we'll start a group.

Does anyone else have the Nike+ ipod that they use? I started using this in feburary and it's great. you can create running clubs and it tracks all you progress for you in miles, time and even calories! My nike plus id is WBIV and it's attached to email brownw01@hotmail.com . so if anyone else has it, let me know and we can start a lapband running club to track all of our progress!

I also had Neil perform my surgery. really down to earth guy that will just plain talk to you. He really makes you feel comfortable with what's going on and will help you with anything you are in need of. I can't say enough about the staff, they are fantastic! Everyone is always helpful and willing to help you out. I was banded on 9/11/08 I started at 330lbs and am now 119 lbs, so down 111 lbs. Neil has been really supportive throughout the entire process.

i wouldn't worry too much about your eating right now. just make sure you are getting your Protein and keep up that gym routine... getting to the gym is going to work miracles for you..... once your fills come along you'll figure out the food.< /p>

Hi, I was also banded by one of the Floch's.... Neil. Things are going okay. I had my second fill today. Surgery was on 9/11/08. First fill was 3cc. then today brought back up to 3cc ( additional 1.5cc). so far down about 40 lbs total including the pre-op. Welcome everyone. Stay motivated!!

Thanx for the great info! today i was back on track! hopefully no harm done. we shall see.....

Hello all,

Just joined.

Was banded on 9/11/2008. Dr Neil Floch in Norwalk CT.

Like many of the posts here, I cheated. Ate some talapia and mashed potatoes last night. then had egg beaters and a few bites of turkey sausage for Breakfast today.... chewed for about a minute each bite. it was not much but felt great. dedided to go back to the liquids as not to mess with the healing process. this site looks great. looking forward to learning/sharing a lot of information with you all. I started at 330 lbs and lost over 40 pre op. hope to get down to around 185.

Hope you all have a great day.
