Jam & Polly - hi there. Thanks for the speedy answer. Looking forward to this journey. How about you all?

I am available for a Buddy. Was Banded on 10/31/2006

Boooooooooo ! ! !

It was a Great Time to get the Band.

I see were close in Birthrates to.

Happy Belated...

I am looking forward to it.It has taken me almost 3 years to decide and feel at peace with the surgery.If I had had it at any other time I would have failed because mentally I really wasn't prepared.Now I am and ready for a new me.I am so tired of taking meds that hopefully I came come off some of them.Praying all my buddies do great with surgery and have a speedy recovery.

Well ! You will have a new Birthday also to Celebrate, along with a New LIFE !. That's the most important thing.

Remember,,,, this is a s l o w go. So be patient, once this jumps into gear, and you actually start losing.

You will always be on the downhill slide, AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW YOUR PLAN !

Hi guys. Surgery on 10/27. Would love a buddy.

Well my name is james i was just banded on november 9th and i am six days in on the recovery side of things. Was hoping u would like to talk to me and see how one another is doing with things...

I was banded on 10/26. So we should be on about the same schedule! I would love to be a buddy. Add me as a friend :)

How have you been doing post op? What stage of foods are you on? I'm supposed to be doing mushies for a few more days, but have progressed to real food. I don't seem to have any problem chewing things to get them to go down. Just a hard time getting all my liquids in durring the day. Have you lost any weight post surgery? I really haven't, just a few pounds. I figured that's normal since I was moving off of pure liquids to solid food with very little exercise. But I'm really excited about this journey!
