Hi everyone, My name is Terri and I live in a SMALL mountian town in Arizona. I was banded on 11/19/04 I have lost about 35lba. I had my first fill of 3.0cc's on 12/22/04. I felt a little restriction a first but not much. Now I feel NO restriction at all. I am going in for another fill on Tuesday 5th. I haven't gone in sooner because it is a 3 hr drive to get there and the last time I had a fill I got a stress fracture in my foot from standing so long (15 min) in the flo scope. Let me explain why that was tough on me. I have a spinal disease called H.S.P. and I walk with crutches or a walker. My Dr. (Robert Berger) ask me if I though I could stand that long and I said I world give it a try. Well I did it and everything was ok until the next day. went to ER and was told I had a stress fracture. I'm walking again and my Dr. said this time we will do it laying down. (the fill you dirty minds)

Anyway, This has been a great experience and I am very excited about the up and coming NEW ME. I am taking pictures on the 19th of every month to see my progress. Can't wait until I don't take up so much camera space. I have looked at all of your before and after pic. and they are all TERRIFIC!!

Hi, Terry! Do they think the weight loss will help w/the H.S.P.? Congratulations on such a great weightloss!

Ilovharleys--I live In the White Mountains about 15 miles from Show Low.

New Hope-- YES the weight loss will help me bunches. My mobility will be a lot easier. It's not a cure but will help me.

Terri - I'm not familiar with that area. We always went to Tucson. My DH Dad lived there and we went out and spent a couple of weeks every year. He has passed away now, so we haven't been there for a couple of years, but he has an Aunt that is pretty special and she is getting old, so we would like to make one more trip to see her.
