Hi

I see Dr. Glassgow as well, I have been banded now for not quite a year and I'm doing well.

If you are considering banding relax you have come to the right place.

I'm about 1/2 way to my goal, and I would not change a thing.

Best of luck as you start your jouney!

Hey! I Do see Adam and was banded Nov 13th! I am doing well. Do you go to any of the office functions/ support groups? My husband is also a patient of Adam's, he was banded Oct 4th.

Hi

I live about 45 min. out from the office in walpole.

I don't go to the office events or anything like that just when my husband brings me in for my fill apt. or if i run into complications.

I usually book on fridays so i can get a ride from my spouse.

you can message me here if you want.

The band really has been a game changer for me. I have hit the point in my weight loss where my closet has become absolutely non exzistant. I'm waring the same stuff all the time cuz that is what fits. Hubby has demanded I return his 1/2 of the closet and get rid of all of my to big clothes. I'm going to do a shop hopefuly my last one ever at the Laynebrant outlet because even though I'm now down seventy two pounds, I'm still a womman's size because i'm tall 5ft 8 in. and I'm literally big boned so those miss clothes just don't fit the bill yet. I know i'm only 1/2 way to goal but going from the largest sizes at Laynebryant down to the smallest they carry is a major acomplishment.

Hope to hear from you either via the office or thru the boards here .

We live about 35 minutes from the office so it's a trek for us too. Congrats on your weight loss! I have found going to thrift stores to buy the in between sizes is much cheaper and I find good deals! I have yoyo'd a lot so I have a range of sizes. I'm hoping this ends the yoyo and I can maintain the loss. I am also a tall woman. I am 5' 11" so I doubt I will ever be "small". My goal is healthy, happy and comfortable in my own skin.

There is a sales girl at the LB outlet her name is Nayomi she is a dressmaker in her spare time. She went to school for fashion design. she has offered to take in my clothes as i go on the way down.

I've started going to savers thrift and it is really hit or miss there, sometimes i find something that works sometimes not. I think I will find a solution that works for me for re doing my wardrobe thru the discount stores, getting some nice things at LB that can be tailored down and the savers thrift.

Before banding I was an avid shopper at LB and built myself a rther nice wardrobe.

Right now I'm kinda in "no man's land" still to big for regular miss and going shopping has been alot of trial and error. After weeding thru my closet today for far to long looking for something that looked good I realized it's time to chuk everything that don't fit right and start over.
