I am new to the site also. I posted a couple of times yesterday. Especially on the slow losers site because I thought there was something wrong with me. I was banded in Ypsilanti MI in Feb. of 2006. My Dr. was Dr. Jon Schramm and he and his staff are absolutely wonderful. He also has an office in Holland to see his patients on this side of the state. It helped me so much to read some of the threads and realize that this can be a slow process. It also helped me to take a close look at what I am eating and how much and how much excercise I am really getting. This is a terrific site! Thanks. I have a goal to be in "Onederland" by August. That is about 12 lbs. for me from here. I was just grateful that after I lost the 40 lbs. I didn't gain through the holiday season and really didn't try to diet or excersize much. I just appreciate the support and honesty I have found here. What a great site!

I love this site...I found it after I had my band put on in 4/07 and I wish I would have known about it before the surgery...there are so many good tips for all that have already been banded, or for those that are going to be banded...I love the group...I am going to the support group on the 14th, and I am going to tell them about this site, just in case they are not aware of it being here....
