I just wanted to thank all of you girls/guys for the educational and humerous conversations. This site really helps you cope and move in a positive direction. I work in a very fast paced office with little time for the internet and wish I could spend more time here!

I had my first fill on Friday the 10th, I was banded 6-17-04 and I am down about 42 pounds. I lost six pounds in six weeks on my last weigh in and I really got myself down. I know how ridiculous that sounds but I am very impatient about weight loss. This is why I always failed before. I love the band because it does not let me give up. Even when I am feeling down it is there reminding me why I did this.

I finally made someone take a picture of me so I could see for myself what I looked like before my banding. I wish I could share it with you guys but I do not know how to do it. I am computer challanged.

Thanks again for the great site,

Gina

Thanks for all the great reply's.

A special thank's to you Alex for the downsizing. I was so embarrased by the size (as if I am not big enough already).

Good Luck "LOVEMEACB4E", get ready for a new life!

Thanks again and good luck to all of you.

Gina
