Hello all. I too am a newbie! I was banded on 12-1-05 and i have lost 15 pounds. I live in Grand Blanc, Michigan and had my surgery at the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, Michigan. My surgeon was Dr. Jon Schram and he and everyone at the clinic were and are wonderful. I go for my first fill on January 10. I am married and have 2 boys ages 17 and 8. I have 3 cats. I am a social worker and manage two Alzheimer's Units at an assisted living community in Flint. I am very glad to have found this site and feel like everyone here is well aware of what we are all going through. Thank you all for the words of wisdom I have already read and I look forward to many more.

Hi Criss, how are things in the frozen north. We've been getting highs in the 70's down here in Texas. I think I'll go for a motorcycle ride. How about you, Betty?

Hi Neighbor!

I love on the south side of Flint! About a mile or so from your town! I am not banded yet, still checking out the band and all....

I am wondering, why did you go with Barix Clinic in Ypsi and not Hurley? Just wondering!

WELCOME and GOOD LUCK!

I was banded Jan-18-2005 just 5 days after having a very bad car wreck that left we laid up for about 16 weeks'. I lost 28 pounds my first 5 days. (I got the flu and could not eat any thing at all). I was 460 pounds at the start and I now am at 382 I was down to 370 but gained 12 over the last 8 weeks after having some Fluid out of the band. Well it is goin back in this week I diid best with it very tight almost to tight. I have to get 90 more pounds off by this July is my goal . I am going to start working out as long as My back will let me. I look foward to taking to some of you. I have tried to do this by my self and it is not working I would like to start going to a local group but need to find a good one. My Docter was Steve Maley In Overland Park Kansas. He is a great guy and we have become freinds. Thanks for your time Bill.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
