I'm Leigh, and was banded on January 29,2003 by Dr. Carroll in Jackson, MS. I can't tell you how this band has made a difference in my life----well, I guess I don't have to anyway, because you all KNOW how it changes your lives!
I've done well so far, losing 101 pounds by my 5 month anniversary. I started at 367, and having more to lose generally means I lose faster--AT FIRST! I'm quickly approaching my 6 month anniversary, though, and have only lost 2 pounds this month. Talk about slowing down!!!! I haven't had a fill yet, but if the weight loss doesn't start picking back up by my dr appt in August, I'm gonna get one. I CAN'T let myself fail at this! I still have about 84 pounds to go!
