I just wanted to say HI! My name is Christina. I'm a 24 year old mommy from Highland, NY. I had my lap band surgery on May 16, 2008, by Dr. Ashutosh Kaul, in Westchester, NY. I've lost 10 pounds since my surgery date and prior to the surgery I had lost 26 pounds.

You lost 26 lbs prior to surgery? LOL! What on earth is wrong with you! hehe :crying: Kidding, kidding...I'm incredibly jealous!! What a great strength you have. I was crying on my meatball sandwiches pre op and telling them I loved them, and we'd meet again in heaven. or post op when I had the evil band removed, whichever came first....haha

hahaha! It definitely wasn't easy, that's for sure. Only being able to drink liquids right now has me almost in tears, looking forward to the most simple things, like eggs and cheese. I can't wait to have real food. Oh great, now you got me thinking about meatball sandwiches!! hah
