Hi everyone!

Im new to the website but not new to the band... I was banded Dec 19,2007 and I have lost 49 pounds so far ... I am here because I realized that nobody really gets what it feels like to be banded and no matter how much you describe it to them they don't get it! That being said i figured I would talk to you guys!! So please be my friend :eek:

Hey Sabbee!

I would love to be your friend! I agree with you 100%! You can tell people that you were banded but they really don't understand anything about it at all. Most people don't really understand what it means to struggle with weight and food issues for your whole life! I was banded 06/30/08 and I lost 29lbs so far. I am so anxious to meet the new me!

OH MY GOSH~~ I was just having this discussion with my husband this afternoon. I had a yucky stuck episode, and he's understanding and tries to listen to me, but he just doesn't get what it's like. And trying to describe it to someone like in passing or in a conversation is almost impossible. It's nice to be with a bunch of people that 'get it'!! I'm here to talk anytime you want!!
