Hi everyone. My name is Barb and I'm from Missouri. I was banded on 11/20/02 by Dr. de la Torre, and I'm very happy with my band. In fact, I LOVE IT! My starting weight was 322 lbs., I am currently at 223 lbs. (one more to go to get to the century mark!), and my ultimate goal is whatever feels good under 200 lbs. I'm glad to see another website dedicated to the lap band -- so glad the word is finally spreading! I am trying to do my share letting everyone I know hear about it!

Hi Barb. Glad to hear another happy story about the band. Congratulations. I can't wait until I reach my century mark!

This is a nice website, isn't it? I am on a lot of Bandster mailing lists but this is a much more convenient format in my opinion.

Congratulations Barb!

Let us know when you knock of that 1 pound .

Keep spreading the word.......

Barb well done on the weight loss. You must be feeling fantastic. Here's to that one pound!

No seriously well done. So great to read all these successes.
