You are inspirational!
Are there any support groups around the Bay Area? I have yet to meet anyone else with a Band around here.
I went to a seminar in San Jose. Good Sam Hospital has opened a bariatric center. It was fun to talk to prospective banders.

Robins post was back in 2003. She hasn't posted here in ions, but it would sure be great to hear how she's doing now. :)

Whoa--I was googling myself and saw this post. I mean...someone had to, right?
Sorry I went awol---things have been busy. I'm doing great though. Had some complications with reflux that resulted in having an empty band for close to 2 years. Finally settled with *some* restriction and had to find a balance between recognizing the restriction I did have and trying to make better food choices.
The bad news is that I ended up gaining back like 40+ pounds. I've taken off 20 since then but verrrrry slowly. I seem to hover around 190-195. My favorite place to be was 175ish but you know what, I can't complain. I was 310 pounds once and I never forget the difference in my life, even when I backstepped.
I have a blog on the site that spotlight moved to--fatblog.org
Thanks for asking and I'm sorry for my neglect of this list!
7 years out and still happy with my band :). http://fatblog.org/weblogs/upload/90...20cc22d814.jpg
