I'm very glad to find this site!

My name is Cathy, I was banded on May 18th, 2009. So far I just had my first fill on July 15th. I think Im in my green zone, but barely. I kind of think I might have another fill, but Im not too sure yet with this being new. I've lost 24 lbs so far & feeling good. Found out I have a lactose intolerance that I never used to have.

I live in Pasadena, MD, and my Dr is Peter Liao. I think he is just wonderful. He is out of GBMC in Baltimore.

Hi Cathy, welcome to the site. You are doing great! Keep up the good work!

Hi Cathy!

I 'm glad to hear you're doing so well. I had surgery on 6/5 and had my first fill 7/16. I'm like you, I feel a little restriction, but definitely need a second fill(scheduled for 7/30).

I'm in MD too - Elkridge and had surgery at Johns Hopkins Bayview.

Keep in touch - let me know how it's going.

Thanks Greytz!

And hey there neighbor! (Linda) You're just over there in Howard Co, cool deal. I'd like to keep in touch too. My latest thing is making myself exercise. Or starting, that is. And sticking with it. We'll see. I'm going to try that Couch to 5K podcast. Sounds daunting. But I'll try anything once.

Let me know how you're doing too! If you are ever on yahoo or facebook, I'm there too. I'll give you my name there if you are. I think it's the same as here.
