Hello, I'm new here

[JudyH 0]

Hello everyone. I'm JudyH from Columbus, OH. I was banded June 5 at Ohio State University and my doctor was Dean Mikami. I had my first fill in August and so far I've lost 17 lbs.

I retired from the State of Ohio 4 years ago after 30 "wonderful, funfilled" years. Right before I was scheduled to retire I went into Respiratory Failure due to obesity and ended up getting trached. I still have the trach. So besides getting healthier, when I lose enough weight, I will be able to get the trach removed. This will happen according to my Pulmonary Doctor.

I'm in my early 50's and happily single.

Talk to you all soon.

Hi Judy!

I had LapBand surgery 5-29-07 and am also 54 year old. I have lost 22 lbs. Is your Dr happy with your loss? There seem to be a lot of people with bigger weight losses than us in the same amount of time. I have a Dr appt today and expect him to do a fill. Hopefully that will speed up my loss! Welcome. I love this web sight. I just found it today.

Res,

I found this wedsite a couple weeks ago. It has been a great help for me. I haven't been back to my surgeon but I'm happy with my weight loss. As long as I continue to lose, I'm happy. Good luck with your fill.
