Here is a link to the piece that CNN news did on me.

It was supposed to air this am, but I got bumped (damn primaries), but I should be on tv tomorrow and sunday between 8 and 9 am eastern time.

Surgery helps woman drop 135 pounds, 10 dress sizes - CNN.com

What an inspiration. I am getting banded on 2/13/08 and feeling pretty nervous. I hope I do as well as you.

Patty, you are a great advocate for banding!

You did a wonderful job!! Thanks for mentioning that it's not the easy way out...we know that's what everyone thinks (including my family) so I am going to send them the link to your video!

Patty - First off I want to start off by saying WAY TO GO on your success!! I also want to say sorry for the loss of your friend.

Very cool to get exposure on CNN. I don't think I could do an interview like yourself. I think you have impacted many people out there and possibly gave them another option to Gastric Bypass. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!

I am so glad I chose the band it has changed my life in so many ways.

You Go Girl!

Very cool!!! You did a great job of explaining how the TOOL 'works'.

GREAT JOB!

What a huge difference in your "before" picture and the new you!

PS - your accent made me soooo homesick! I'm a transplant to Texas from Stoughton - listening to you was like a slice of home

GREAT JOB!

hi Patty! I saw your post about the show being on this weekend, so I raced home and set it to tape. i watched it yesterday. it was GREAT!!! great job representing bandsters - even though I haven't been banded yet, I feel like part of the family, and you made the family proud!!! excellent piece, and way to go on your success!

What a great story! So motivational . Way to go!

Great story. Patti, you should think about riding your own. I rode behind by husband for awhile, It was hard for the 2 of us to ride together, so I decided to get my own. I ride a Road King and love it.
