Hi y'all,

I'm Karen and live in Texas. I was banded on 3/21/05 and have lost about 15lbs so far. I told my doctor that I wanted to go to bed tonight and wake up skinny tomorrow. Of course I realize that isn't possible however a girl can dream. I have about 70-80lbs to lose. My goal is to wear a size 10. I haven't done that in 8-10 years. I look foward to being a part of this group and hearing how everyone is getting along. Talk to y'all later. Karen

Welcome Karen!! I am a native Texan living in California. Where are you located? Congrats! I was just banded April 1. I am loving it. I get my first fill 5/14. Already down 19 lbs. Tell us about your experience!

Hi, Susie!

I am from a small town north of Beaumont, Tx. I've lived here for about 30 years off and on. I am originally from Georgia, north of Atlanta. I was banded on 3/21/05 with my first fill just last week on 4/18/05. I had my first real meal today since the fill. It is definitely different. I'm so glad you wrote to me. I look foward to hearing from you again. Talk to you later. Karen

I know that is a fantasy but it's a great one. Talk to you later...Karen

Hi Karen, Congratulations on your new band and your weight loss

For what it is worth I started this journey 1 year ago at 265 and a size 20/22

Iam now 175 and a size 10

Never thought I'd see a size 10 ever , I do not ever remeber being a size 10 , so it is possible

You will be a size 10 in no time

Best of luck to you I hope you have a possitive & successful journey

Thanks so much, La Madam. I know I will see a size 10. At the moment I am a very loose 20. Only 10 sizes to go. I'll do it! Bye. Karen
