First time here

[Guest Vickimc]

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
