Hello everyone -
I was banded on August 22 by Dr. Derek Nagle at St. Mary's Medical Center in Grand Rapids, MI. I am 5'3 and was 215 at my first presurgery visit, 198 day of banding and won't know where I am now until I see Dr. Nagle on Friday Sept. 7. I feel great!! Just really really hungry with liquids only these first two weeks post. Am trying to keep my eye on the prize and my kids (all 5 of them) and hubby have been great support. Walking the dog twice a day and getting the kids ready to start school on Tuesday.
I am so happy to have found this site and all the wonderful advice and stories and support! I plan to be a succes story by the end of my journey.
I hope my signature & newly minted tracker work.... Will try to upload a picture soon...
