Greetings from newly banded in Paris!

[Sarah 0]

Hi, I'm a new member of this forum and wanted to introduce myself!

I'm an English 40 something mother of 2 boys (5 and 10) living near Paris, France.

I was banded by Dr Marre in Port Marly, near Paris on 5 August 2003 and have dropped from 112 kg (227 lb) to 97 kg (213) in the 4 weeks post op, which is great!

I recovered very fast from my surgery and almost feel like it never happened. I can eat solid food and, though I can delay eating by drinking, I do get hungry............which was a surprise as I thought being banded would remove hunger. However, I think it might be that I need a fill, so I'm off to see my doctor this week.

Well, that's me, in a nutshell..............glad to be part of this group!
