I am a 48 year old male from Fitchburg, MA. I started my weight loss jouney in July 2008 at 281 pounds. I deceided to go with the Realize band. I was banded on 11/12/2008. Pre-surgery I was 242lbs. I have got alot of information and support from this site. I am still in the clear liquid stage. Still have some pain and lots of gas:) If I can be of any help feel free to email.

Thanks,

Mitch
