Hi, I am from Ellijay, the North GA Mountains. I worked in Atlanta for a while. I was banded on Oct. 5, 2007 by Dr. Ponce in Dalton, Ga. I have lost 45 lbs. I am so happy I decided to take the band journey. I know I'm on my way to a happier, healthier, new me. I wanted to wish you luck on your journey!

Well...I went to the Dr. today and I lost 8 lbs. in the past 6 weeks. I guess that's pretty good. I'm happy with that. I am now down to 191. I'm well on my way now to a new me. I feel so much better! I just hope this fill works out....hope I'm not too tight again! Guess we will find out soon! :thumbup:

I was also banded in Oct. 2007. I had my 6th fill and had some issues with being able to keep liquids down. I went 2 weeks and finally said I had enough. Found out I have allergy issues and my pouch was full of mucus so when I would eat and drink there was no place for the food so it would come back up along with all the mucus in my pouch. I had to get an unfill and start taking Claritin. It has helped me! I hope you get straightened out soon.....and I am so sorry to hear about you losing your baby! That's a terrible thing to have to go through...I've been there to.
