Hello all! I was banded on January 8 by Dr. Matthew French in Louisiana. So far I've lost 55 pounds. I currently have 5ccs in my 10cc band. It is a little tight, but I am using it in my advantage to loose weight! I am so happy to have the band and to have found a positive group to share this experience with!

Hey there i am also form mississippi. Just wanted to welcome you and say congrats on the weight loss. You are doing great!!

Hi ya'll I'm from Ms too, Had the band done and so did my neighbor. I used Thomas Lavin in Lousianna, same office as Dr. French I think. Good luck.:sad:

Hey girls, you all sound so excited. I am from Louisiana and Dr. Redmann from the same group is going to do my surgery. Don't have my date yet. Just finished getting my pcp approval and blood work to them. Should have it soon. Good luck to each of you.

It's nice to "meet" all of you fellow Mississippians! Good luck to all of you. I hope to see you around the boards!:biggrin2:
