Hello guys. I am a 38 year old gay male living in Dallas Texas. I was banded on may 10,2013. At surgery my weight was 435lbs. As of this morning (August 5) I am 59.8 lbs down and counting. Feeling great, but have a long way to go to hit my goals.

Congratulations! This is Joe from Staten Island. I'm having surgery this Friday, and I'm a bit apprehensive. Happy to hear you're doing well.

Thanks Joe! I am not gonna lie to you and say its an easy way of doing things, and I have been asked several times if I am glad that I spent the money and was it worth it. I say yes! I love my band... Well, most of the time. There are those times I want to pig out and can't... I miss bread and carbonated drinks... But 60 lbs down in 3 months... Ain't bad! Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions. Good luck to you!
