Hello everybody!!

I was finally banded on March 3rd, 2004. After many set backs (since Dec 2002) I am on the other side!! Although I really have not lost much weight, I am ok at the moment. After reading a lot of posts about pre-fill weightloss, it has kinda knocked me out of my depression. I have lost 5 lbs and that is more than I would have, had I not been banded.

My doctor was Hadar Spivak (formally out of Baytown). He just recently moved his practice to Houston on a full time basis. He has done over 600 bands and was one of the physicians who participated in the US Trials. I believed that he may have done some bands in Mexico before the Trials.

Just wanted to say hi and hopefully, we will hear from each other soon.

Hello~

Just remember this is your healing time. Your body will be adjusting to the band and if you lose GREAT but if you don't-do not get upset.

Most people don't really start losing weight until after there first fill.

If you have question post, Drink your Water and get in all your protien~

GOOD LUCK!
