Hi! Thought I'd join the March bandsters and give it a try. I had my surgery March 26, 2008, in Mazatlan, MX. I live in Eastern WA State and manage my brother's (and two other provider's) medical practice here. I am the mom of 4 grown children (2boys, 2 girls) and Grandma to 4 (5 in Sept!) sweet grandkids! I spent the week following my surgery at my brother's condo in Mazatlan, so that was a big help in recuperating. Doing ok at this point. Just started mushies so that helps some. Looking for a good place in WA State (especially Eastern WA) to get my fills done. Any suggestions?

Starting weight: 260 lbs.
Surgery weight: 252 lbs.
Current weight: 242 lbs.

I'm JoVonda, live in Illinois, 5 minutes from St. Louis, MO. I have a husband of almost 4 years and a 2 year old son who is giving me the blues right now!!! I'm a high school Spanish teacher.
