I began my journey on Oct 30, 2009.

I have lost 25 lbs since starting the medifast diet 2 weeks before surgery.

I am 55 years old and have been over weight since I was 20 years old. I have diabetes.

I live in Wa state and I am a Mom and Grandma.

:thumbup:Welcome Linda, I was just banded on the 25th. :confused:

I live in IN and am a mom to six wonderful kids.

Congrats on your wl, keep up the great work.

Hi Linda,

I, also, was banded on Oct. 30. I haven't lost a lot of weight since my banding. But, I have lost 46 lbs since my pre-op diet started back in April. I was one of the folks that had to diet for 6 months before my insurance company would approve me. Nice to meet you. I am happy to have another person banded on the same day as me to take this venture and new life turn with. Please feel free to contact me whenever you want to talk. Karen:thumbup:

Thanks for the welcome ladies.

It is nice to meet someone on the same day! That's very cool.

I go for my first fill tomorrow. Hoping it's not painful.

Linda
