Hi Everybody. I found the site on one of the bandster lists. Thanks Alex! Looks great!

My name is Vicki. I am 45, and one of those overweight people all my life. I was banded 5/15/03 and have lost a total of 37 pounds (including before surgery). I had my first fill a couple of days ago and can feel some restriction.

I am a nurse anesthetist (put people to sleep and wake them up! for surgery.) I love my job.

I have three beautiful girls, all adopted. Two are from China. The oldest is 7, and the youngest is 2.

I have been married for 20 years, and my husband has a weight problem too. I asked him today if he would consider getting a band, and his response was "I am not there yet." So, we will see. He has noticed that I am losing weight, however!

My numbers, as we do on bandsters and smartbandsters:

260/223/145.

My surgery was done by Dr. Blair Faulkner, Brandon MS.

I am looking forward to this web site!

Vicki

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
