Hi everyone, I was banded on 08-05 after a one year wait and colon surgery after diverticulitis ruptured this year and a colostomy was placed then 3 mths later reversed. So I am learning to live my life now with a new digestive system from Top to Bottom HAHA. My Dr. was Dr. Smith in Fort Worth Texas, he also did my hubby in Oct and I can't say enough about how wonderful he is. I'm doing fine, having more problems with the last colon surgery in June than the band. But am getting bored with my mushies. I will be getting a fill in 2 weeks and have lost 18 lbs. KJ:rolleyes2:
