I have been lurking on the board since last year, and finally decided to join. I went for my first appointment in October of last year, went through all the insurance requirments, and then was approved for surgery the end of January. I was banded on February 4, 2010 by Dr. Joseph Cribbins, Plano, TX. I had my first fill on March 15, 2010, but had to go back to get some fill removed on March 17, 2010. My starting weight was 305, I am now 280. My goal is 170 lbs. I am Michelle, I work full-time and have twin daughters who are almost 5 years old.
