Hello Everyone,

Thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. I'm V:redface:, 25 living in Long Beach, CA. I was recently banded (super recent..within the week). Sx date was 08/28/09 by Dr. Tashjian out of Beverly Hills.

My start weight was 265 but during the pre-op diet I managed ti lose 12 lbs. I was at 253 when I went in for my Sx. Now...6 days later consuming nothing but Clear liquids, my weight is down to 240. I begin the mushy food goodness on Friday:thumbup: I go in tomorrow for my post op check up and will be scheduling my first fill in a month from now.

I have already taken pictures from my original 265 and will be recording my weight loss and measurements in a blog (coming soon to a website near you :blushing:)

Anyways....HEY EVERYONE :ohmy:

Sounds great V!

I'm going today for my first consultation with my Surgeon. Wish me luck!

Congrats V, you are doing good. I had my surgery down at Cedars Sinai a year ago. Good luck

Thanks you guys :smile2: and good luck junbug! :thumbup:

Congrats on the surgery.. and Welcome to LBT I live in Downey not too far from Long Beach I'm looking forward to being banded also at Cedars.

Welcome... can't wait to see pics!

I was banded in Bev Hills Top Surgeons on 11/2 also. Maybe we crossed paths. Good Luck!
