I'm here!

[Guest chrisfisher]

Hello! I just joined and already have seen a post from someone I know! Hi Sheryl! You're doing so great!

I was banded 1/9/03 by Dr. Kuri in TJ. I had my first (and only, so far) fill on 5/5/03. So far I have lost 82 lbs. I am loving this band! I have a long way to go, and sometimes that makes me angry, but at least I'm on my way!

The only things I really have trouble eating are tortillas and bread. Most other things I'm all right with. I miss burritos, but otherwise this has been really easy. I gave up beer and never drank much soda anyway. So far, haven't really missed the beer. So that's a nice bonus.

I do have a web site with before and during pictures (most recent is the 75 lb. picture, I'll add another at 100). I would love to add pictures and/or stories of other people with the band, as well as links to other web sites so that if someone finds one of us, they find lots of us. That's how I started on my research, and it was very helpful! So if anyone's interested in being included in any way, just email me! My site is: http://www.fisherchristine.addr.com/band.html .

Nice to meet everyone!

Chris
