I was Banded in Monterrey Mexico by Dr. Rodolfo Sanchez January 7, 2005. Then I had a revision at Walter Reed Medical Center in July, 2005 due to slippage. (to tight) My starting weight was 210lbs and my current weight is 160lbs. I'm 5'6 and a size 12. I feel good about myself and I've learned a lot about myself during the past year. I've learned the band is a tool, and I need to respect it and use it wisely. I am a little parinoid, since I've already had a revision. So whenever I feel a change I freak out and get severly depressed. I love the LBT site, and I'm so glad I found it.
