Hello,

I am a 34 year old male, living in Katy, Texas. I was banded on 5/23/06, by Dr. Richard Wilkenfeld. When I started my pre-op diet, I weighed in at 310 Ibs. Today, I weighed in at 229 Ibs. and I feel GREAT:) My goal weight is 190 Ibs. I have started working out (resistance weight training and cardio). I have more energy, and can actually play with my two kids without having to take a break every five minutes, to catch my breath. People that have not seen me in a while, FREAK-OUT, and I love it.

thanks for letting me share,

Joe

Welcome Joe!! Love your screenname!!!

There is a bunch of us that were banded in May around here.

Congrats on the big loss!

Hi Joe and welcome to LBT! Wow, you are doing awesome and I bet you do feel fantastic. Isn't it great having all that newfound energy to play with the kids and spend time with the family?

Glad you found us!

Howdy from a fellow Texan! It's nice to have you here.

Welcome Joe! Awsome job with your band!:clap2: :clap2:

Way to go Joe! I live in Sugar Land and was banded in late Aug. Not much happening with the scale right now. I keep telling myself this is the healing period. But happy to hear about your progress.
