Hi everyone,

I was banded on 2-26-07.I live on a wheat farm in Montana.(Big Sky Country!)I'm 51.My 2 children are grown and married,but live within 30 miles of us.So I get to see all 6 grandkids often!

That's part of the reason I decided to do this.I just didn;t have the energy to keep up with them as much as I want to.Also my health. I'm taking 8-10 Rxs each morning and I'm hoping that as I lose wt.I can get off them. I am diebetic,have high blood pressure and last year had a bout with kidney stones that had to be surgically broken up and removed.

I've had all the gen. surgeries- appendix,t&a,gallbladder.

My pre surg.wt.was 220lbs.and after a week I'm down 5lbs.

I would love to hear from some of you who are going thur the same things.:girl_hug:

Chelle-

You're on your way to a new life that should help a lot with your health problems. I've never been on BP meds, but my BP was around 145/90 during my work up. Last check up (after 25 lb loss) it was 130/68!

Good luck!

Bruce

Chelle,

I live outside of Kalispell. I was banded 5/26/06. There is a support group that meets in Great Falls each month if your interested. Welcome to band land.
