Newb to the board, but banded since 7-28-04

Guess I should've started here first <he-he>

41, 5' 10" banded 7/28/04 weighing in at 268 (was 275 at 1st consult). Since then I am down to 221 (as of 2/16/06) - not as far along as I would've hoped to have been at this point, but only 21 lbs from 'my' goal; my Dr.'s (Iragau / Wynn) would like to see me at 175 (haven't been that since boot camp 6/84).

I'll take 200 even, anything more than that would be sweet though!!

Banded throug CHRIAS in Wilmington, DE. Since banding I have had mostly sedentary jobs (IT tech help desk) but now am "on the road" for the Geek Squad, so get little time (mostly none) for lunch, so that's helped me A LOT recently.

Thanks for letting me "vent" ....

Welcome Pattman!!

Slow but steady wins the race... that's the lap band way.

Good Luck!!

I'm with you - anything under 200 would be SWEEET. (of course, I am only 5'5"! lol!)

I just recently joined here also, I was banded in June 2004. Wish I would have found this place earlier! Congrats on the weight loss!
