I just found this site today. Someone on my other support board I frequent was talking about this site.

My name is Angie, I was banded on 10/7/05 by Dr. Kuri in Tiajuna, Mexico (Not sure if I spelled that right) I have lost 32 lbs. This is better then gaining and I feel much better then before banding but I feel I should be farther in my journey then this. I am losing again after being at the same weight for over two months. I am at a 2.8cc fill and get my fills from a great Washington Dr. I would love to go back to Dr. Kuri but I can not afford that trip each time I have a fill so I decided to go with a Doc I can drive to in a couple hours.

I would love to hear from people that have had a slow but successful journey. I am sure I am going to make it I am just not sure how long it will take. I am very excited to be a normal size and shop in the regular section for clothes some day. I have no idea what I will look like at my goal weight because I don't remember ever weighing that amount.

Hope to meet some wonderful people here

Hi Angie,

Welcome to LBT. Where are you from? Somewhere in the Northwest I assume.

I'm a pretty new bandster (May 1), but I have found so much support and friendship on this board.

I think your weight loss is great. Without the band it could have gone the other direction. Some people just lose more slowly. I think any loss is a huge success.

Keep up the great work!

Welcome to LBT, Angie. There are some great people here and they are wonderful about answering your questions. I think you are doing a fine job with your band. My DW is the banded one and I'm the support team. MsJoy was banded 12-28-05 and has lost about 40 lbs. She takes all the advice I give her about her band and she, so far, has not had any problems whatsoever. Slow, but steady....

Hey preciouspup haven't heard from you an a while, just checking to see how you are doing. Have you loss any more weight, since the last time I heard for you? I still hope I do as well as you, because you did excellent with the band.
