sheryl 3 Posted July 22, 2003 Hi all! I was banded on 4/16/03 by Dr Ortiz. I have lost 55 pounds so far and am thrilled with it all. I just got my first fill 10 days ago, and I am losing once again. I am so happy that I made this decision. It hasn't been that hard, at least so far. I do feel that those 55 pounds are gone for good, not like the other times that I have lost weight. Feel free to email me if you have any questions!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chrisfisher Posted July 23, 2003 It's good to see you here! You're doing so well! 55! Wow! You must feel so much better already. I sure do! I've lost 82 so far, and it really seems to make a difference. My knees barely hurt anymore, for which I'm so grateful. Sometimes I get discouraged that I have so far still to go (100 lbs!), but I guess even if I never lost even 1 more this would have still been worth it. Went to disneyland with my family a short time ago and walked all day, went on all the rides, had a great time. That wouldn't have worked 82 lbs. ago! Keep in touch!

sheryl 3 Posted July 24, 2003 Thanks, Lisa! I bet you are excited! I am so glad that I decided to do this. I have never had such great success on any diet, and believe me, I have been on most of them! Email me if you have any questions or concerns! Good luck to you!
