Hey everyone. I am new to this site. I was banded on 1/10/08, which was the best decision I have ever made. I have gone from 316 to 290 and feeling great. Now I'm just wanting to speak with people who have done this, because I know I have a long way to go.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, you are in my prayers. Let me know how you are doing from time to time. Take Care, Linda

Good to hear you lost 2 Lbs, your doing great. When I lost 2 Lbs, I was telling everyone. It was so exciting to see the scale move down. Take Care, Linda

Hi what cost was your self pay? I grew up in jax but was born in new orleans and will be a self pay for lapband but will have to go to mex cuz my doctor in west palm beach wants me to gain 20lbs to do surgery. I am 5'3 and 197lbs now with joint pains and snoring that my husband is always waking me up for to stop. If I could possibly have it in state, I would prefer that...just wandering what was your cost and to get fills in jax.

Thank you!! Lena
