Welcome Mario Thailand!

You have come to a good place for support and expertise! You will do great and try not to worry, you are taking a big step in the right direction!

I was banded on June 26 and I have to say, I Love My Band! It takes more will power and control than I had envisioned but I feel really good that I am in control, with the help of the band.

I was wondering how much the surgery was in Thailand. My mother in law was upset that I chose Mexico instead of Bankok because she is from Thailand originally! I think she just wanted an excuse to go home for a couple of weeks!

Keep us posted on your progress and Happy Birthday!

Your day will be here in no time and then before you know it you will be looking back on your first year.

I am sure you will love the band if you stay away from the cheese cake and fried food...lol...

I love mine and am thrilled I have it. Good luck.

Happy Commin into the world day! Happy to see new folks, always. I'm with you, a bit nervous but a blessing as well. Keep us posted on your progress. I'm sure you will do amazing things.
