Hi! I'm new to the forum and just wanted to post a little about who I am. I was banded on December 23, 2011, so like two weeks ago. My surgeon is Dr. Salimitari who is heaven sent! AMAZING! If anyone is considering Surgery in So Cal Dr Sal is the way to go. You'll get extraordinary care! I just had my first post op visit and I've lost 20 pounds. YOWZA! I feel like a million bucks. I have two kids ones 17 the other is 2. I'm a nurse and a make up artist in Los Angeles California. Looking forward to sharing experiences and stories with everyone.

Welcome aboard! Any concerns, questions aggravations you have will be answered, shared, and comforted here. Trust any issues you have some one else had ot too. Ready, set, share!

Yea! Sounds like you're off to a great start. Keep up the good work

yay! congrats on the success!

This makes me feel better- 6 days until I go in for surgery! Glad to hear you are feeling so good!
