Hi everyone,

I'm Sharee from Chicago. I was banded by Dr. Vivek Prachand on 5/18/07 at the University of Chicago Hospitals. I am down 24 pounds since 5/8/07.

Welcome,

You had done well for your even before your band. I felt that full feeling even after just being banded.

I still had head hunger so I ate A LOT of sf banana popsicles from KROGER.

bEST WISHES,

EDIE
