Grandma Pat

Hi, all. I signed up to participate on this board last August, but things happen and I just did not get to it. Now that my life has kind of settled down, I am looking forward to being active and post as much as possible, I would like to know if any of you were banded in Mexico? I was banded on May 27, 2005, in Tijuana, Mexico, by Dr. Kuri and I would do it all over again if I had to. I began this journey @ 270 lbs and as of yesterday I weigh 168.5 lbs... a loss of 101.5 lbs....gone forever! :clap2: I am a 53-year-old woman, married for 32 years to the same, loving husband who has supported me through this entire process. We have three grown children and 2 1/2 grandchildren, the 1/2 is due in March to our younger son and daughter-in-law who have waited 5 1/2 years for their first baby. I live in Ketchikan, Alaska, and work full-time as an Accounts Receivable Coordinator for a local non-profit health agency. My husband is retired two years from the state ferry system after working there for 33 years. I would love to hear your story and promise to answer anyone who wants to correspond off board also.
