Julie_Dizz 2 Posted June 27, 2004 Hello Group! My name is Julie and I live in upstate NY. I was banded on 5-19-04 and all is going well. I think my worst post-operative "complication" is my anxiety at wanting to do this right and not causing any harm to my pouch. Even that is getting much better with time! I have lost 24lbs since surgery, and 26 lbs pre-op. I have been FORCED to buy new clothes (oh darn!) because I'm looking like a frumpy, baggy ole woman! Other than being a bandster, I am a musician, a public speaker, and a lover of arts and crafts. I'm 42 and am happily married to God's precious gift to me - Jeff. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year. I have four nieces, a nephew and a poodle. lol I look forward to getting to know you all as we work together on this exciting adventure! Hugs to you all, Julie 5-19-04 Dr. Weiss, Cooperstown, NY 296/246/"normal" clothes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
