[Brandy W 1]

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I was banded on July 13th of this year. I've lost 53 lbs so far. Woo hoo! :clap2: I started at 496 lbs. Dr. Stephen Malley did my surgery and I've been really happy with him and his office staff. I have a myspace blog that I'm trying to chart my progress on. http://www.myspace.com/brandywittbrod

Hi there! I was just banded yesterday!!! 9-20-06. I am so excited. I lost 16 pounds before the surgery on the Medifast drinks. I have been this little since my pregnancy about 6 years ago. I was really getting up there in weight. I started losing weight last year and lost 41 pounds and now I am down another 16. That makes me feels so good. I didn't know my face could get skinny and pretty again. LOL.

My doctor was Dr. Robert Michaelson. I am still trying to figure out how to put in one of the tracking devices. I would love to share that with you too. If anybody can point me in the right direction on how to add one. I would appreciate it.

I just wanted to jump in and say hi and welcome to LBT to both of you. Feel free to ask questions whenever you need, as we are all here to support one another.

Also, check out the stickies at the top of the forums, as they are filled with a wealth of information that I am sure you will find very helpful.

Hey Erin,

Go to www.tickerfactory.com and click on weight loss and pick out which one you want and then you will copy it and then go to user cp and go to edit signature and paste it there. PM me if you have any problems.

Congrats Brandy,

I had surgery on the 10th of July and I've only lost 40 pounds and ate like a freaking horse today. I'm scheduled for my 3rd fill on Tuesday. I hope I have great restriction after that. What size band do you have and how much fill? Just curious. Good luck and keep up the great work.

I am hoping this works. I guess we will see.
