Hi Kerri, I had Dr Harrington. I really like him alot. Boy I work in a nursing home and 2 family members told me today that I should not lose any more weight. they have got to be kidding. So tell us more about you. Do you go to the support meetings? Claudia

Congratulations to everyone - it really is quite a journey. I started mine this week, having had lap band surgery.

Hi I also live in Johnston, and i am new to the group I had surgery on 11/08/06 I've lost about 17 since . No one has really noticed, but when your as big as I am it's takes quite a bit for any one to notice. The most important thing is I can feel the difference in my clothes. So I am just starting my weight lose journey and only wish I do as well as you, so any suggestions or tips I would greatly appreciate. Write again I would like to keep in touch.
