My name is Kimberly, I am 49, a hairstylist and I live in Santa Barbara, CA. I was Banded in Mexico by Dr. Huacuz in his clinic. I had a positive experience the entire process I'm sore and walking very slowly. I did a 10 day liquid fast before the procedure, and of course the standard liquids 2 weeks after ( I am on day 3). I do not know how much I have lost up to this point as I hate the scale. I do know that I started at an all time high of 236 lbs. I realize that I do need to look at the numbers in the near future so that I know what is happening with my body. I will walk to my girlfriends house and use her scale. That will be my goal for today.

My only real concerns at this time are going back to work and shampooing ladies at the bowl (slight bending motion), and my dogs jumping up on me and causing harm to my incisions and area in general. Other then that I feel like I have an awesome support network: great husband, friends and plenty of wise Banded soles to help guide me.

I'm glad that this site was recommended to me by 2 fellow Bandsters. A shout out to Terri in San Diego, and Sandra in New York City. Hugs and a speedy recovery Sandra.
