My name is Kim and i was banded (realize) on 10/19/09 and I could sure use a band buddy to help me succeed in this new lifestyle I have chosen. I am 51 and have been married for 27 years my husband is very supportive in this journey, I have 4 children, 3 grandchildren with ine more due any day now :-) ! I live in CT and work as a day care teacher for infants and toddlers and have done that it seems all my life. since my first apt with Dr. Nadzam in August 09( 271) I have lost to date I believe 16 lbs. ( no scale) and would like to loose 100 lbs eventually. thanks
