Man, I never thought that I was gonna be able to say that I was already banded. WOO HOO.. I was 243 on Dec 17 at my pre-op diet. On Jan 12 at mt post-op appointment I was 226. :sneaky: 17 pounds WOW. I thought that I should have lost more but my doctor (Dr. Tiffany Jessee in Largo, Fl) thought I was doing great. I go back for my first fill/adjustment on Feb 16. Dr Jessee said that, thats when I will really see the weight difference. My goal weight is 170. That means I only have 56 pounds to go.:thumbup:

If anyone is in the Tampa Bay area and would like information on the surgery or Dr Jessee please feel free to email me at xeina000@aol.com. She is great. Excellent bedside manner. Down right GREAT!

It sounds like we are in simialr places. I was banded the 29th also. My starting was 238, and I was 226 at my 1 week follow up on 1/6. My goal is 160. Its nice to know there is someone out there who was banded the same time as me.
