Hello Everyone

I have been a member for a while I felt like this would be a good time to say hello to everyone.

I was banded March 1, 2007 in Chicago. It was not as bad as I though it would be. I am happy and getting around fine and sticking to all of my doctors instructions well.

I feel really optimistic and hopeful and want to thank all of the people who post on these kinds of sites, because you all have been more of a support to me than you can ever imagine. I say this because the highs and lows of this journey, we all share in them and hearing both variation gives me strength. The lows lets me know I am not alone and the high gives me a since of hope.

But with that being said, I am on the way on my weight loss journey wish me luck, and we can do this together and hopefully others will get strength to live there dreams whatever they may be.

Congratulations on your banding! How are you feeling? I'm glad you decided to post at last. I also lurked a long while before posting. It was the information I got from this site that made me decide to go for it.

I'm sure there's a March bandster's thread somewhere here that you may want to hook up with.

Keep posting!

Welcome!!!

Congratulations on having a successful surgery. I was raised in Chicago, but I currently live in Houston. Who did your surgery?

I have been banded for about a month, and it's the best decision I could have ever made. I hope that this site provides you with as much support as it has offered me.

I was banded by Dr. Steven Bonomo @ Mercy Hospital in Chicago. I feel really good, I actually have been able to sleep on my sides, and lay on my stomach for a little while. I have been walking a lot to. I feel so full of hope!!!
