oldeee 0 Posted February 1, 2009 :thumbup:Hi there. I'm just geting started at this. My next appoinment is with the surgeon at Good Sam in Portland Oregon. For you right coasters that's really "Ory-gun". The early pioneers didn't know how to spell it correctly and it has continued to confuse ever since. I am a 65 y/o dentist who has been heavy all my life. I hope to loose 75-100 pounds. I anticipate surgery around the middle of April. Best of success to all of you.

MacMadame 81 Posted February 1, 2009 Welcome to LapBandTalk! I a Best Coaster too, but in CA. I started out wanting to lose 75 lb. am now aiming for a little over 90 and my surgeon thinks I can lose more. So we sound like we're in a similar range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy Kay 0 Posted February 1, 2009 With a "right coast" and a "best coast" I guess that makes me the "other coast"! Allentown, PA.. an hour from the Atlantic. I was just banded 12/22/08 and am down 27 lbs. with 100+ to go. Long journey but it's going to be worth it! For us all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
