Hi everyone!
My name is churchmouse and I was just banded last Friday, the 21st of November 2008.
I'm 53 years old and wish I had done this years ago. My highest recorded weight at the Dr.'s office was 253. I weighed in at 204 the day of surgery.
I'm looking so forward to a new lifestyle and a whole new life. This is the best thing I've ever done for myself.
The only pain or problem I've had so far is the sharp upper chest pains associated with gas. I'm talking "take your breath away" pain. Can't wait for that to go away.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.
Wish me luck,
Churchmouse
