New Here - Banded 7/2/10

[Read 0]

Hi there. My name is Read and I was banded in July. I live in MD and am married with 2 kids. I'm just figuring out what's going on here so I thought I'd start with an introduction. I've lost 30 total pounds; 25 since surgery. I don't really have good restriction yet - I'm more in a really good headspace to be successful on a fairly restrictive diet - but I'll take it.

My doctor is Dr. von Rudeun and I need more data to recommend him. I think his medical skills are certainly fine, but the jury is still out on the rest. I look forward to getting to know some people.

Hi there,

I'm new as well and am getting ready for my surgery tomorrow. Feeling a little nervous and just hoping for a speedy uncomplicated recovery.

It sounds like you are doing really good. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you since you are new as well.
