Hey there! I was banded 10 days before my 30th birthday. My starting weight was 300lbs and so far I've lost just under 20lbs. I too would like a buddy. Good luck. Message me if you would like.

I get banded in June. My BMI is 50. I am 37!! :P

I am 35. I was banded on 2/14/12 and weighed 321. I currently weigh 291. I've had 2 fills and am now feeling restriction. I've had a lot of difficulty with eating too fast and it causing discomfort. So much that I don't even want to eat sometimes. I'm rarely hungry. I'm trying to focus on getting enough Protein and Water in, which I find hard to do. Every morning I have a Protein shake for Breakfast. I just joined a gym and plan to workout at least 3 times a week. I've been walking almost everyday. My next appt is 5/15 and I'm wondering if I need a fill or not. I just downloaded an app for my phone called Eating Slow and it times you between bites. It's helping, just not something you want to use in public. Lol!

I am 37, I got banded last week on 4/26. My bmi is 50. My start weight was 303, before my preop Atkins diet. I now weigh 286, I am so glad I decided to get banded. I would love to be your buddy, and go through this together.

Hi Marcy! We seem to have a lot in common. I would love to keep up with each other!
