Hello! So, before I begin all the questions and posting... guess I should briefly introduce myself. I sort of suck at these.. so I will make this quick.

My name is Felicia, I live in Arizona. I recently (October 13, 2011) got banded after a year of research, meetings and reading. Surgery went amazing, surgeon was awesome, everything was very convenient for me. I was banded trough True Results in Scottsdale, Az.

My starting weight, 371... Pre-op weigh in...356 ( 15 lb loss! YAY ME! lol..)

Its been over a week from the surgery. Recovery is going GREAT, sore... really sore. But I am noticing weight loss. ( or inch loss anyways) in my face and tummy. My incisions are healing well.. all 18 staples are driving me INSANE.... hopefully those come out the 25th ( next check in.)

4 days ago I took a 1 mile walk to the park and back. Yesterday I walked 2 miles. I noticed walking helps. I am eager to hit the gym and bust my arse!

I have questions...and concerns I will address shortly, in the correct threads.

For now, Hello! & Im excited to get to know you all, and share stories!

Hello to you, Felicia and welcome to the board. So glad to hear your surgery went well. And congrats on the walking already. Way to get ahead of the game.

Hi Felicia, I was banded on the 17th so we're in about the same place! Awesome job so far!!
