who was your doctor at DHMC? I have Dr. Lay**** Do you go to the grad meetings? Maybe I will see you there sometime in the new year!

Congrats Glen on your weight loss, you must feel like a new man. I can't wait to get to my goal. I had the Lapband surgery so my weight loss will be slow, but that is okay. So far I have lost 52 lbs since June 1, so my goal is 100 lbs by June 1, 2007. Glad to hear from you. Cindy

Hi All, I live in Montpelier and have just started the process of looking into Lap Band surgery. I've received a packet from Dr.Spaulding's office. I'm currently recording my food intake for three days and going for blood tests Monday. I will mail back the completed packet Monday. I discovered this year after working with Elena Ramirez that I have an eating disorder, disordered eating which has been at the root of my weight issues. I am learning to eat three appropriate meals and two well planned snacks. I see the surgery as a tool in my tool box, and I have hope that this combined with all my other new habits will allow me to lose my weight. I currently weigh 232 and am very unhappy about it. I also have Type II diabetes. I've actually never posted to a message board so this is new to me. It seems though like it will be another good tool. Reading about the other Vermonter's success is encouraging. Andrea
