Hi all - long-time lurker, first-time poster !

I was banded by Dr. Ren at NYU on September 6th of this year. My process was relatively simple. I decided to have the surgery earlier this year, luckily had six months with a nutritionist, so was able to get approved by insurance easily.

Started liquid diet on August 23rd, weighing in at 240 lbs.

Had surgery on September 6th, was down to 223 lbs.

Started mushies on September 16th, then real food on September 27th.

Now down to 210 lbs.

I'm about to do my first post regarding my first fill on the post-op board.

Thanks to all who are here, congrats to everyone on continued success, and looking forward to connecting!
