I was just browsing around the web and came across this website, i wish i would of came across it sooner. I was banded in the Dominican Republic by Dr. Joseph Ramirez. I've lost already 38 pounds to date and on tuesday i start eating soft solids. Im glad to see theres a place were i can relate to others and share experiences with everyone on this journey.

Holy Cow ~ 38 pounds! That is AWESOME! I found this site browsing too and it is a wonderful place to learn and vent, get encouragement, make friends, have some laughs, etc. I just got approved and will get my band pretty soon! Keep up the great work!
