Hello everyone. I am so happy to have found this site! I have read such great info.

I am 34 married for 13yrs and we have 2 children. I started putting weight on about 10 yrs ago, we had to go thru a lot of fertility treatments before I was able to get pregnant and that's what got the pounds started!! Currently I am 260# BMI is 44.9, this is the highest my weight has ever been.

I went on 5/16 for my first consultation with Dr Curry in Cincinnati, everything went really well....and now the weighting begins!!

Welcome; you will find lots of information and opinions on the site.

Always refer to your medical professionals for solid advise and concerns.

As we are all individuals so are body's. What works for one is not the be all end all.

The band was the right choice for me; down 70 pounds in 6 months, unsure if that is typical.

Some report over 100 pounds in 5 months while others have struggled to get 25-30 in 6 months.

Hang in there girl and good luck.

Good luck and the worst part of this process in my mind is the waiting around so be patient and things eventually happen when they should

I'm waiting too I think it will be better for me when I get a surgery date right now I'm waiting for the unknown

I agree once we get a date the time will probably fly by....at least I hope so!

I just completed my tests on this past Saturday so now the waiting begins for me. I am going to call Wednesday and see what's next. I'm just going to get busy with other things in my life that I need to take care of and by doing that I'm sure my wait will not be that long. Good luck!
