nice website !!

Hey all, I want to introduce me---TERI

Queens NY

I was banded 2 years ago

as part of FDA trials

Very very happy to be banded

Lost 1/2 excess weight which is considered by Bio-E to be successful

I KNOW I never would have lost this weight with out my band.

I was diet weary and sick of the repeated ---Diet / lose it /gain it back/ dieting revolving door.

I also KNOW I never would have kept it off so easily

I do have another 75 to lose

but know it is all excersice now as I have quite a full

fill (at 3.6cc) and have leveled off at about 1100-1300 cal a day

So I know I am not eating any more than when I was losing.

I had a back injury which slowed things down a lot but am starting phys therapy in Sept

so I'll be working on the next 20 to lose by Christmas

does not sound too bad, ey?

Anyway good luck to all,

Smiles

Hi Teri, welcome! How interesting that you had yours done during the FDA trials. Who was your doctor? Are you still being monitored for long-term results?

my doctor iswas Dan Herron at MT SINAI

they had no support group so I wound up with the group from lenox hill with drs. kurian and roslyn

it is nice as the dr actually come to the meetings

i would still go probably every other month but my work schedule prevents it

DR HERRON has since moved to long island but i have not seen him in awhile peobably six to

8 Months

we (HUSBAND is banded also ---"husbanded..".

LOL WERE

offered to participate in a long term esophagael monitoring study at mt sinai but i am still thinking about it

there might be many scope tests i could not deal with i'
