Hi Everyone

My name is Elaine from Texas. I was banded 4/24 by Dr. Felix Spiegel.

I got the band to help deal with some health issues - diabetic and high blood pressure.

I'm really looking forward to talking and reading the board.

It always helps when you can talk with someone who's going through the same things you are.

Let the journey begin.

Dear Elaine,

Me too!!! After 3 months post banding I was able to quit taking 6 pills and 2 shots for my diabetes. At 6ix months post banding off my high blood pressure too.

your band sister,

edie

I clocked to say hello to our new member Elaine and saw Edie's message!

How great to read it. I was feeling a little discouraged today and replying and supporting other's usually helps me feel better about my own isuues.

I must say that I am greatly encouraged by Edie's message.

I can't wait to be healthy too!!!!!

THANKS:bananapowerslide:

Hi All

Edie - that sounds wonderful - I'd love to be able to quit taking these meds - especially since they all have to be crushed now - lol

Hi Nikki and Vickie - thanks for responding - We've all chosen to live healthier - and posts like Edie's really gives us encouragement.

Can't wait!
