I just wanted to introduce myself. I just found this site earlier this week and i really like it. My name is Yadira. I am 39, single and no kids. I just had my surgery on 12/21/09-so far so good. I started the process back in May09 and i finally got approval in late October. I had to wait to have my surgery because i was in the process of moving from San Antonio to Tampa because of work. Once i got settled in, i found a really good surgeon right away. I was able to have my surgery within 3 weeks of setting up my initial appointment with him. Back in May i weighed 296-298 lb. By late November i was down to 276. I was able to get down to 264 by my surgery date. I feel really good right now. I already feel like i have more energy. One week out at my first doc's visit i was only at 260. Today my scale is showing 248.5! It is going slow but not bad. I feel pretty good because i have not had any side affects at all so far. I have one more week on liquids before i can start my next phase of food. Being on the liquid diet was not as bad as I thought it was going to be but i am so ready for the next phase. I look forward to chatting and making friends. Everyone seems really great at providing support! Yadira
My starting weight back in May 2009 when i started getting reading for my surgery was 296-298 lbs. The friday before surgery my weight was 264lbs.
Welcome Yadira!!! Congratulations on your band and a new lease on life. I don't think your loss has been a slow go, sounds like you are doing fantastic. Keep it up and don't be a stranger. Welcome to the board. :D
