'Ello! Band Nooblet coming through :)

[xoLisha 9]

Hello! So, before I begin all the questions and posting... guess I should briefly introduce myself. I sort of suck at these.. so I will make this quick.

My name is Felicia, I live in Arizona. I recently (October 13, 2011) got banded after a year of research, meetings and reading. Surgery went amazing, surgeon was awesome, everything was very convenient for me. I was banded trough True Results in Scottsdale, Az.

My starting weight, 371... Pre-op weigh in...356 ( 15 lb loss! YAY ME! lol..)

Its been over a week from the surgery. Recovery is going GREAT, sore... really sore. But I am noticing weight loss. ( or inch loss anyways) in my face and tummy. My incisions are healing well.. all 18 staples are driving me INSANE.... hopefully those come out the 25th ( next check in.)

4 days ago I took a 1 mile walk to the park and back. Yesterday I walked 2 miles. I noticed walking helps. I am eager to hit the gym and bust my arse!

I have questions...and concerns I will address shortly, in the correct threads.

For now, Hello! & Im excited to get to know you all, and share stories!
