Helle everyone. I have been on here several times but only as a guest. Today I decided to join. I am one year and one month post op. Dr. David Voellinger at Southeast Bariatrics in Charlotte, North Carolina performed my surgery. I weighed 277 and lost 30 pounds before beginning my weight loss journey with Dr. Voellinger. I weighed 247 pounds in January 2010 when I had my surgery and in January 2011 I weighed 185 pounds. My goal is 160 and am hoping to get there this year. I feel the best I have felt since High School. I have been up and down with my weight since High School. I have had several questions since my surgery and have found the answers on this website. I have had no regrets with my surgery and would recommend it to anyone that is considering the surgery.

Thank you for joining! You are an inspiration to all of us "yet to be banded". My big day is March 8th. Do you have any do's or don'ts for someone about to start the journey? Congratulations on your success! You have done so well, I'm sure you will reach your goal weight. Take care! Hope to hear from you soon.
