I am a 45 year old single mother of 1; I was banded in March of 2007 in Acuna, Mexico. I weighed 222 at the time and I am 5ft. 2in. This month of course, is my 2 year anniversary, and I have lost up to 101 lbs, (there is a long story behind this). I am currently at 160lbs. I was banded by Dr. Jose Rodriguez, and it was a wonderful experience. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing! I would recommend it to anyone.:ohmy:
