Hello All, Looking To Meet Some Fellow Bandsters.

My name is Jo, I am 25 and fairly new to Richmond, Va. I moved here in February and am loving it. I was banded in May of 2011 with a starting weight of 320 and have lost a total of 129 pounds. I work full time and attend school part time so it has been a bit difficult to find time to fit in some exercise. I really want to tighten everything up :). I look forward to meeting fellow bandsters. It is beautiful out today!

Hello Yolanda! Just like Lapband Princess says, don't be nervous. The anticipation is the worst part, at least it was for me. Not quite sure where you're at in Spotsy but I live off of Gordon Road. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I've been banded just about 5 yrs now, actually January 30 will be my 5 yrs. Who's your surgeon? Look forward to chatting with you soon
