Hi Noel!
Sounds like you are doing great!  I saw Dr. M, but decided to go with the original practice I had started with (I had invested almost $200 on pre0op stuff)!  I had a good reason at the time for not choosing Dr. M, but wonder if I was being overly sensitive and hope my decision to be Dr. Foreman's first at HH was not a bad one!  I really like Dr. Foreman, but I just hope I didn't over complicate things!! 

Good luck!  Stay in touch!

Began journey in 2007 at 312, had Lap band 2008, lost 40 pre-op then 24 post op, regained to 319.  Lost 39# on my own, then revised to VSG 4/29/13 @ 280.

Hi Tonya! Nice to meet you. I am a bandster. I was banded Aug. 27 , 2007.  I have lost 80lbs now and have gone from a size 26/68 to a 14/16 so far. It has been an amazing journey that I continue to enjoy each day. My LB has given my life an entire new meaning and outlook.  I am VERY active with my two young children and have gone from taking 7 prescriptions plus insulin shots down to NOTHING but vitamins.  I began to walk, then run and now I run in 5ks and fun runs all the time. Take it from me, you will LOVE your lapband!  Good luck on your journey and God bless,  Nanci

Hi Tonya!  Welcome to the Bama Board.
I, too, am not a bandster, for I had RNY on 1/14/04 and am successful.
Best wishes to you!
