Hello there!

Anybody remember me? Been a very long time since I've logged onto LBT. Looks like my buddy Jack is still here. YAY! We were banded the same day when I got my first band. Lost it after waiting too long to call the doc when I caught a virus and threw up so much that my band slipped and it had to be removed. I still have my second one....1 1/2 years now. The weight is coming off slowly, but I'm very happy. I haven't been this close to 200 pounds in over 20 years!

Plan to check in a bit now and then and hope everybody is doing well.

Take care!

I like your username, Darcey. Faith is key, I think. Right now I'm still kind of just nervous and scared. Not hungry but feeling vulnerable and emotional. Where are you? Portland? Good luck with all of your hard work. You will achieve your goal weight, I believe it!

Actually I'm in Eugene. How about you?

Also, where are you in your journey?

I'm in Eugene!

Forgot to say: My starting weight was 226. I'm 5'1" tall. I don't know where I stand right now, but I'm five days post surgery.

Where did you have your surgery done? Here?

Dr. Gonzalez in Tijuana did my band.

Yay for Oregonians!
