Hi Carl,

I haven't been on here for a few weeks and we are heading out of town for a few days.

But WELCOME I don't even know where Franklin is.

Congrats on your band. I can't go on enough about how great my life has been since I had the surgery. Don't get me wrong I have had challanges, but but through all of them I have grown.

I will try to check in while out of town.

Again, welcome.

Congratulations to you. I was just banded on July 11. Hope I do as well as you are doing. All is going good right now. Thanks for thinking about us new banders. Had mine done here in Raleigh N.C. by Dr. Enochs.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I'd be happy to make a NC version of the table that I made on the August 2008 board. It could have everyone's username, band date, dr, hometown? Check out the one on the board and let me know. It's easy to update and has really helped us to connect!

I was banded last Friday and doing well Thanks to all for all the support and tips. I just love this site. Especially since I don't know anyone else personally who has a band. I am in Apex N.C. and Dr. Enochs was my surgeon.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
