New Lap-bander in SC

[mfinney 0]

Hey all, my name is Michele, I am 25 and I just got banded 7/10/08. Yesterday I had my first post-op to get the staples and stiches removed and so far 12lbs down since surgery and 22lbs since 6/22/08 when I started my pre-op diet. So Yay! I can't say it has been without temptations and minor set backs when it comes to will-power! But with a husband that is not "overweight" and two boys ages 5 and 18 months there is yummy food that is hard to say NO to. LOL! But reading this forum I feel a lot better that many people are having these same problems.

So, I look foward to talking to other "Bandsters" and sharing my trials and triumphs as well!

Michele :thumbup:

Hi

Where is SC (South Carolina) do you live and at what doctor and hospital did you use. My sister lives in South Carolina and she's looking for a doctor to perform lapband on her. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats Michelle. I also got banded on 7/10/08. I go to my post-op tomorrow. Does the port still bug you at all? Sometimes it feels like it's poking out... I don't know, I may just need to get used to it still...
