I guess I should start by telling a little about me . I'm a 59 year old woman who was banded on Monday, March 19 in Monterrey, Mexico by Dr. Zapata. Of course I haven't done any weighing yet but probably will next week sometime. I've read many places about how many people don't loose the first week or so but I can't imagine that when the liquids you comsume have so few calories in them. I know I'll do fine these first 4 weeks on restricted diet but already am concerned about later. A friend was done on 1/31 and has lost 22 pounds but another friend has been over a year ago and lost only 38. I know this isn't a miracle weight loss but sure want it to work at the price paid for it. I've been on every diet in the world I believe. I've succeeded at each only to fail again. I really hope this forum will be a constant support to me.:girl_hug:

Hi. :girl_hug: Welcome to the site. just wanted to say hi and good luck with your weight loss journey.

Hello and welcome. Congratulations on your banding. There are a couple of places you can hang out here. There's the March bandsters thread and you can also join us older bandsters in the over 50's thread. And of course anywhere else you want to go!

Anyway good luck and keep posting.

Welcome to LBT and to bandland! Glad to have you aboard! :) :mad:
