 Just wanted to say Hi, i joined the site a few weeks ago. I had my surgery today, and went with the lap band. Overall i feel much better than i thought i would. Dr Sowemimo who is now at Central Jersey Bariatrics was my surgeon. I started with Dr. Sowemimo before he went to CJB, and i really like him. I felt he was helpful in the process and supportive.

Thanks for all the help you've given me in posting all of your own information, i feel it really helped better educate me over the past few weeks.

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence.  I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!

 Thanks everyone, everything is going well! I'm getting adjusted to my new menus and even headed back to the gym to start treadmill walking. So far including my pre surgery liquid diet i'm down almost 40 pounds. I'm pretty psyched and looking forward to saying "Hasta La Vista" to many more!
