Just thought I would introduce myself. I was banded on April 1st in Mexico by Dr. Rodriguez. I have since lost 55lbs and and am down from a size 34w to a 24/26w. I am not at a stand still and waiting for my next fill appt on 9/11. Looking for to exchanging ideas and posts with all of you.

Sandy,

You are doing great! I am going in for my first fill on 9/11. Guess that makes us "fill buddies." I have to have a small surgery that day to turn my port around since it decided to flip over in there (darnit). I have lost just over 40 pounds to date but I am hoping the fill will make a big difference.

Isn't it great to have your old "skinny clothes" (such that they were) hanging of you?! I just cannot wait to drop a few more sizes so that I can actually go shopping and find things that fit. I have gone from a 26/28 to a 22/24 so far. If I can get down under a size 18/20 soon enough I will actually be able to shop at more normal stores. I just cannot wait!!!

I love being able to just actually shop for clothes. I had become so big that I had to order from a catalog. I couldn't wear clothes from the Wal-Mart or anywhere like that. I have tried not to go overboard by buying too much but it has been about two years since I have shopped other then flipping through pages. Keep in touch and let me know how that fill goes. I have 3cc in my band (Inamed 11cm) and hope to have 2 more this time around. I am also hoping this will help jumpstart the loss again for I have hit a standstill. You can e-mail me at the_mills@charter.net anytime. Good luck in your journey.

Sandy
