maryb 1 Posted May 17, 2006 Hello Chanta31, My daughter is also 22. I am proud to say she was banded today! She lost 16 pounds on her pre-op diet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chanta31 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Thanks for the encouragement! How is your daughter doing now? Tell her my thoughts are with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryb 1 Posted May 17, 2006 My daughter is doing great. I think being young makes a big difference in your recovery time. She and a friend are out running errands today. I sure couldn't have done that on my second day. I told her to take it easy and not push it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWomanWithin 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Shannon, welcome and glad you are looking into the band. Hey Maryb - that's great with your daughter, are you going to get her to post here how she's doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryb 1 Posted May 17, 2006 I sent her the website about a month ago. I will encourage her to start posting. I will tell her if she doesn't that I am going to post her pictures anyway! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
