Question:
for 1st time pre-op Toni & others

Hi- I'm called annaly and I had a banding done by Dr. Galupo in Hudson Mi. in 1993. It was originally made TOO small...I lost weight too rapidly, and it was eventually (two years later) partially expanded ...Until I gained it back I looked and felt great, though, and believe me, THIN does feel much better... Obviously...cause I am doing it again...as soon as I am ready nutritionally, financially... etc. later this year (2000). I am posting because Teri asked me to...I don't know if the problem I am having with updating my file has to do with web tv or not...but here is my address if you wish to write me directly... [email protected] Good luck everybody. Don't be afraid. It's worth it.    — Anna B. (posted on January 22, 2000)

Hi, I too had previous stomach stapling in 1979. You might say I was the poster child for gastroplasty. Now, on Tuesday I am having an open RNY micro pouch. I was thin for 15 years, and yes, thin is better, no doubt about it. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
