Hi from Michigan

Hi everybody. I had my surgery June 10, 08 by Dr. Zubin Bhesania at Port Huron Hospital. I went in at a whopping 324 pounds. (I have a hard time believing that I did that to myself.) Well here it is slightly more than 4 months later and I'm down 59 pounds at a "svelt" 265 and losing. I was wearing a 28-30 pants, today I squeezed my fanny into a 22! I wouldn't trade my lapband for anything!! I went for a fill today. I'm up to 5.5cc in a 10cc band.

Wow Cindy good for you! You GO girl!!!

Way to go Cindy! I just got my band on October 1st, along with a double hernia surgery. I hope I can lose as good as you! I am out of the 3's and down to the 2's already though!

Hi Cindy,

I live in Grand Rapids and had my surgery done in Mexico in April. I am down 51 lbs and agree with you, it has been great! Let me know if you ever get over this way. It would be great to have someone in the state to talk to. Congrats on your success, its only the beginning!

Hi Ladies,

My sister is in Kazoo and interested in getting banded too! Can you each tell me who your doctor is and where you go for fills? I told her going to Mexico would be cheapest, but she has questions on the pre-surgery stuff and follow up.

thanks,
