Looking forward to receiving a mentor/buddy

I walked my mile last night. Im kinda afraid to push it too hard. I want to get back to walking in the morning and at night. Right now my disolving stiches havent dissolved so the waist of my pants rubs against the stiches and Im afraid of harming the stiches by too much activity yet.

I asked if the stiches would come out by themselves, now I wish Id asked how long it takes for them to come out. I could email them, but guess Ill give it another week first. Im a self pay and no insurance to cover anything.

Sweatmeat--you need to update your ticker. It says you've only lost 51lbs--not 70lbs.

What portion of the 70lbs is post-band?

Currently I am in a size 16. I've decided not to have a "goal weight. Instead, I have a goal size of 12 or when I loose so much

weight that my face starts sinking....which ever comes first.
