AtALoss 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Hi, All: I am new to this, so please bear with me. I was just banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico on September 28th. The first week was rough, but now things are much better. I've lost 30 pounds as of today and am feeling good. I know I'm going to have lots of questions, so I hope there will be some experts out there who can answer them for me. Thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallyjo 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Welcome to lapband. I don't think any of us are experts but will do the very best we can. Looks like you are doing very good there yourself. I have been banded for six months and am 18 pounds from goal and have had hardly any problems to speak of. This is a great forum and I betcha some of us can almost help you out with what ever comes up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheldex 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was banded in Nov 05. I started at 250 with a goal weight of 160. I had some eating problems that kept me from being successful the first year but those have been resolved and I am starting over. I had an Endo last week to make sure all was well. My dr took all of the saline out of my band and we're starting from scratch. I had lost a total of 20 pounds but I have regained 14 pounds back so I'm starting at 244 this time. I have faith that I will do much better in the next year. This forum seems to have a lot of information that will be helpful to me so I will check in regularly. Best of luck to all !
