New Here

Hi all I am new to this forum, my name is Roxy and I am 35 yrs old.

I had my band placed on August 23rd Unity Hospital Dr. Johnson and I have lost a total of 30 pounds since April and 17 since surgery.

I am a single mom of an amazing 13 yr old boy, he is my life!

I have lots of questions about the band and what to expect next.

This is short and sweet because I don't know what else to write.

Ask away. This site saved my butt when I first started the journey and I'll tell you that I've met some of the coolest people I've ever met on this sight.

well, i have started solid foods today but it kinda made my tummy hurt and I barely ate anything less than I did on pureed! got any ideas for starters?

If it is making your stomach ache at all, I would wait another couple of days. Letting it heal properly is very key. Just make the transition VERY gradual.

Hi Roxy

Welcome to LBT! Let me tell you congratulations on your success!

I agree it is better to wait than to hurt yourself! It is a journey!
