Stopping in to say...Yo!

Cool site.

I'm the same old Geezer as 'NotherGeezer, but most people think that says NorthernGeezer, so i'm giving up on that. But I'm still pretty old (55 at surgery, 56 now) for a wls patient, so I'll remain a Geezer.

My surgery was 15 October 2002 in Monterrey, Mexico, with Roberto Rumbaut Diaz. He is one of--I think--two or perhaps three banded wls doctors.

My progress WAS at about 2# per week, then I was unfilled by a doctor in Tijuana who "refilled" my band with a minimal amount of saline and nothing happened...for weeks and weeks and weeks. I was recently in Monterrey for a fill with Dr. Rumbaut and it appears that things will be improving.

I don't post my weight because I think BMI is the only relevant measure...so I was (at the highest) around 52, I was about 48 when banded and am currently around 39...no longer morbidly obese.

Thanks for the nice board.

Sue

I'm glad to see you here and I was one of the people who used to think you were NorthernGeezer! LOL That aside, I've always enjoyed your posts.

I didn't know about your filled then unfilled story. Wow....glad it's taking a turn for the better! Keep us updated.

Warmest wishes on your journey,
