Greetings from a San Diegan living in Norway!

Hello fellow Bandsters!

My name is Debbie and I'm a 45 yr old Am. woman living in Norway. I'm married to a Norwegian and we have 2 teenage sons. I'm originally from San Diego, but have resided in Oslo since 1982. Back home every year.

I was banded 11.29.04 in Copenhagen by the Swedish surgeon, Dr. Lundegårdh. I have the Swedish Adjustable Band. At present, after 6 fills, I'm up to 3.75cc in a 10cc band. I've lost 84 lbs in less than 9 months. My starting weight was 244 lbs and my present weight is 160 lbs. I have 16 lbs to the goal my doctor set for me, but 26 lbs to my ultimate goal.

I attended the Seattle Splash in Feb. Did anyone else attend? I am very interested in receiving info about other Bandster conferences. I had planned to attend the Chicago Bash, but it was cancelled. Are there any conferences planned this Fall besides the conference in Toronto?

Best regards,

Debbie in Norway
