Hello everybody!
I am newly banded (sept 13) and have had wonderful results so far. I have lost a total of 27.5 pounds in about three weeks. I feel so much better than before the sugery. Yesterday I walked with my daughter up the hill to cheerleading practice and didn't get winded. I can't remember the last time I didn't struggle just to get half-way up! I heard about this site from a lady in my support group and had to give it a try. Despite the fact that my family and friends are very supportive and encouraging I feel as though I don't have anybody to talk to about what I'm going through. I hope to meet some new online friends who are sharing this experience to chat with.
