Hi All -

How exciting is it to find such a supportive community! I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Amanda and I was banded (or got my hula-hoop as my aunt would say) on February 16, 2007 in Mexico... Monterrey to be exact. My surgery was done at OCA hospital by Javier de la Garza, M.D. You can get information about the surgery, the surgeon, and the hospital at their website www.litenfree.com. My starting weight was 226.6 lbs. I did two weeks of liquids, and I am wrapping up my first week on a puree diet. I look forward to getting to know all of you:nervous

Hi Amanda and welcome! Congratulations on your surgery and also on your weight loss so far.

You might also want to check out the February bandsters thread and compare experiences with those banded around the same time as you.

Keep posting!

Hey Amanda, glad you found us and decided to join! Congratulations on getting your band, it sounds like you are doing wonderfully so far. We look forward to getting to know you better.
