Hi, Group from the Redwoods

I mostly have been participating in my local support groups are Stanford, Other LapBand groups, and in the last few months Plastic Surgery groups. Yes, I was the first LapBander to have Plastic Surgery at Stanford. I had a TT paid for by insurance because the loose skin was pulling on my lower back. I was training constantly for marathons, and had to stop. LapBandere work a little harder to loose weight because we don't have the malabsortion issues. I was about 30 lbs from goal, but had to get the panni off if I was going to continue to vigorously exercise and loose more weight. So at 18 months I'm on a roll again. Life is great. I'll need to get some new pictures up. Nice to to check in with all of you. We made it this far!!!

Hi Barb! Congratulations on all your success! Girl, you have really worked your band! I am glad you got your TT and hope your recovery was smooth. Wow, you train for maratons??? You're my hero! Hugs, Tracy

Hi Barb! It's good to see you- We've emailed before about Dr. Billy. I'm so happy to see you doing so well! Don't be a stranger- this is a nice, supportive group we have here.
