:girl_handsacrossameWell, I've banded together with all of you who are determined to finally get to a healthy weight and stay there permanently. So far, the journey has been great. My motivation was to resolve my Type 2 diabetes. I was banded by Dr. Joseph Moran on 8/13/08 and Dr. Moran also repaired my hiatial hernia. On 8/22 my internist took me off both prescriptions for diabetes, prescription for hypertension and my prescription for controlling chloresterol. I am amazed at the improvement in my health already! I think we all deserve all the support we can get.

Wow how wonderful you must feel!!! Congratulations! I'm getting my band 8/29; I can't wait!

I wish you all the best as you get banded and begin your successful weight loss journey, Restless Monkey!
