Hi there! My name is Erin and I am from Virginia. I am having the banding procedure done, tomorrow actually so I am hoping to start reading here today to help stay motivated and read about other people's experiences. Im glad to be on the site and hopefully I will be documenting my own weight loss journey soon!

Hi,

I was banded in Virgina. My surgeon is Dr.Glen Moore. I was banded about 2 weeks ago. I have already lost 30lbs. Good luck !!

Hi - I am from Richmond and being banded on the 20th. I was amazed at the weight loss so far you experienced. Does this include your pre-op diet, or was the weight loss since your surgery? What type of exercise are you doing at this point and how "has it been" so far?? I am pretty nervous. I have heard the more you have to lose, the quicker it will come off. I am 356, so I am hoping this is true!

hi! I am new here too. There is a thread for us in the Hampton Roads area in the Support Group area for USA/Virginia. I just started this and went to the Informational Seminar yesterday. Are you seeing Dr Clark or Terracina or someone else?

Great luck with your surgery! Keep us updated on how it is going.

Hi there everyone,

Like phlphan, I think chocolate diamond's weight loss is amazing!.

For those being banded in (phlphan and erinshel), in case you might be interested there's a forum for all of us being banded in April HERE and we've added you to the list of April bandsters HERE (erinshel, I wasn't sure of the date for your banding because of the time difference between Australia (where I am) and the US (where you may be) - I've put you down for the 8th - is this right?)

Cheers and Happy Easter

yep april 8th was my surgery date! thank you for adding me to that list. I will check out the Hampton Roads support group. I worked with Dr. Clark and he was really great.
