I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Hollie, I'm a 24 yr old stay at home wife and mother to a 10 month old. I was banded on Feb. 20, 2009 by Dr. Manuel Castro from Dallas Texas. I am in Eustace, TX... east of Dallas. So far so good, I'm still sore at my big incision, and completely hungry from all liquids... but it's all WORTH IT!!

Hello, I am Veronica Dr. Castro did mine in Dec. 12, 2008 and I have lost 36 lbs. Love to hear about your progress. Do you go to the support meeting?

Thanks and Good Luck

Well I go to my first follow up visit today, so we'll see how much I've lost so far. As far as healing goes.. all of my smaller incisions are okay but the larger one still hurts some. I'm STARVING!! I can't wait to get to eat mushies next week. I opted out on meetings, I have a 10 month old who goes every where with me. How long did it take for your big incision to stop hurting?
