Hi my name is Maro..and I'm from Texas.

I had my operation last March of 2006,At Chihuahua, Mexico with Dr. Ramos Miranda.

My starting weight was 248lbs.

Now I weight 170lbs.

I was wearing size 20 jeans and I was a 40DDD, now a size 12 and a 36 DD.

My procedure was easy and my recovery excellent, very fast. Up to date I had two fillings done. And I hope to achive a goal of maybe 140lbs.

Holy smokes, Maro, that's an impressive weight loss. Congratulations! Sounds like the band (and your work) have given you a whole new life.

By the way, welcome and I'm glad you found us. Keep us posted on your progress. How about some photos on the before and after site?

Thank's Devana:

I been kinda misbehaving lately, but after reading "Is not perfection, but persistance what wins the race"... I'm ready to behave again, starting right now...tomorrow maybe too late. (Late snacks are evil little creatures ha, ha....

Oh Devana:
