hagerteresa 3 Posted July 24, 2004 Hi Maureen, You will definitely get that support and friendship you need here. Just make sure you are a part of the group and correspond with us frequently... Ask any questions you might have... We're here for anything. I got banded 5/8/04 in Tijuana Mexico by Dr. Lopez. I haven't had any problems and am down 46 lbs. I know that weight loss is pretty unusual but I am pretty fanatical about my calorie counts and started off super heavy at 362 lbs. From what I understand and have read, the heavier you are the easier it will come off INITIALLY. I think it gets harder down the road. Glad to meet you, tell us more about yourself. Here is some personal info on me: I am 30 years old, married 5 years, live in Oregon, no kids, LOTS of pets. I enjoy swimming, gardening, cooking, travel, the beach etc. You can find a lot out about each one of us further down this thread. A lot of us contributed information about our personal lives on another thread in this forum. Look around and make yourself at home, Teresa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
