Hello Everyone, my name is Renesse and I live in Louisiana, I was banded in April 2010 by Dr. Thomas in New Orleans, :thumbup:and I have not looked back. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. The road has been a little bumpy but I am working my tail off to see the great results at the end of the road. If anyone has any questions about the surgery, i am very open and will help anyone I can.
