Hi,

I am Stephanie, I had my realize band surgery on 11/11/08 and I am very excited about it. I went to a support group on Saturday and I have already lost 13 pounds. So that makes me even more excited. Just looking for friends that also have the band so we can talk and compare...

Hi...WOW...That is awesome. I can't wait. I have my first appointment with the surgeon on Wednesday this week, I'm so looking forward to it. I can't wait for my surgery date.

13 pounds??? Congrats!!! It must feel great. So how have you been doing? What have your initial experiences been with the band? How is the liquid diet going?

Good luck with your journey. I'll definitely be writing more as I get closer to the date, but at least hearing your perspective will really help!

Hello, welcome Stephanie

I am also in Alabama (Huntsville area).

Congrats on the 13lbs already!

DLMYVETTE ~ Yep I was really excited to lose 13 pounds and I got my staples out yesterday and I am up to -17 pounds~ woohoo~ The liquid diet isn't fun but full liquids are better and I am sooooo looking forward to the mushies part.

FairyFascade ~ Yep I know where Huntsville is, we went to the Space Center last year when we had our science museum pass.

Hi Stephanie, I'm glad there are more and more people from our area on here. I live in Clay, not even a mile from the Publix so we are pretty close. Congradulations on the weight loss!

Monica
