My name is Tricia, and I was banded on May 16, 2007 by Dr. Spivak in Houston, Texas. I weighed 217, and I weigh about 180 now. I wore a 18W/20W, and now, I wear a size 14. The biggest change I have experienced is with my 4 year old son who I can now run with, bounce with, and fully enjoy! I work out at the YMCA about 4 days a week, and my tummy is starting to sag. Yuck. Looking forward to the journey with my fellow "bandsters"! -Tricia:tongue:
