juliapekas 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Hello everyone. I'm researching banding, probably in Mexico for Jan 2007. Self pay, of course. I'd like to hear from folks from this area who are banded or planning to be, to get some support groups started and maybe exercise groups. I'm enjoying the on-line support, but would like to have someone to actually go through this process with :help: . I need all the help I can get. Looking forward to chatting with all of you:p .

shackdog 1 Posted August 12, 2006 Hello Jewel, this is shackdog in Idaho. I think your plan of attack is on course, I to was a self pay. when I started just shy 4months ago I was at an all time high for me. 411 bmi of 52. Well here it is not quite 4 months later and I have lost a total of 86lbs and my BMI is 42. Down three shirt sizes and 4 pants sizes. The best advise I can give you I have found is to follow the docs instructions to a tee. This forum is a great tool but like all tools it is just as good as you use it. I have found that there are many persons with great intentions and ADVICE but use the tool wisely. I also joined a support group here local and have not missed one meeting from the beginning of my journey. If I can ever be of assistance you can reach me email boiseman2001@yahoo.com . Good luck and welcome to the gone for good club.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
