Welcome to bandland! I'm glad you had a great experience with you Dr. I have heard great things about him. Thanks for posting and letting us know how well you did!

It's only natural for you to feel the way you do. It will be here and over before you know it. Be sure to come and post how you are doing when you are able!

A "BIG" hello from Texas!

I am just getting around to seeing this, so sorry Vera about your band problems. I hope you just get the new band, at least that way you won't have to worry anymore. Good Luck!

Welcome and good luck with your journey! Please keep us posted!

Sending prayers for you and your family.

You are doing great! It only gets better as you go too!

Glad to hear you are doing better! It only gets better with each day!

I drink right up to my first bite! I wait an hour after my meals before drinking again.

Awww so sorry to hear that! Sending prayers your way for a fast recovery.

Whooo Hoooo, you have done great! Looking forward to seeing some pictures of you!

Good Luck to you! Please let us know when you hear something!

Congradulations Shelly! You make a great looking couple!

I loved looking at all these old posts and pictures. This original Before and After Pictures is a great inspiration to read too not only to look at the pictures. If you haven't read all the stories, I incourage you to do so.

Teresa - I'm sorry you are hurting so bad. Hopefully they can get you some relief soon. You might want to consider an MRI to see if you have damaged anything in there.

This is so cool, looking back at some of the people I have heard about but never saw until now! I know Shelly is still around, how many other people are still around. I would like to see them check in and let us know how they are doing now too!

Sending prayers your way!

Great pictures, and yes, you really can see a difference!
