Hi my fellow bandsters: I am newly banded May 29,08 I went to Mexico to Dr. Ortiz. I had to go down alone because my partner stayed home with our kids. I had a great experience and am doing fine. I have such a great support in her. I havn't told a sole about my decission to get banded. I feel that I don't want to justify why I went to Tijuana or why I couldn't do it on my own I feel that as I go down I will just take it all in stride and learn to live a healthy life with small portions and more exercise. I am looking forward to solid food. I have a food date of June 19, only a few more days to go. I don't feel any restriction now and have to make a fill appointment. I am also wondering how the hell do you get the ticker to attach to my page? I have tried and tried and I am thinking that I am very computer illiterate. Any suggestions? Thanks Tammy:thumbup:
