Hi Yvonne -
I was banded a week ago Monday on 6/15. I am a Kaiser patient and they have their own Support Group that I attended yesterday. Can you tell me a little about this one? Is it for all WLS? Any bandsters? Any men? Any cost?
Thanks,
Matt

Topic: 6 months post WLS- I feel AWESOME
Hi everyone-
I am now 6 months post WLS and down 53 pounds and life is GREAT!!!! I cannot believe how wonderful I feel! I thank what ever power it was was everyday for leading me down this path! I have added a photo to my Jeanne and Hank album that was taken exactly 6 months to the day from my surgery of me on my horse along with my daughter, the difference between the first pic and the new one is amazing!
I have been very fortunate that I have not had to endure any problems so far! That does not mean that I haven't had my go arounds with dumping or throwing up but lucky for me they have been few and far between and I am a fast learner. I never thought that I would be able to live without sugar, but now that it is my poison and makes me sicker than a dog, it is pretty easy to find alternatives that satisfy! Fruit has become my new favorite sweet thing and it is amazing at how good it tastes all by its self!
I love my new life and would do it again in a second!

Topic: RE: Introduction after lurking awhile
Welcome Matt, congrats on your band! (and good to see you too Kevin). You might be hungry until you get that first fill or two. At first I got my first fill then had my next 2 only 2 weeks apart. Each time I felt better restriction. I was banded last June and am down 125 lbs in a year. Tthey say it is a slower process than bypass but with some hard work, rule following and exercise it can be done, I feel awesome. I am 9 lbs away from a normal BMI. This last 10 though has been going really slow. I chose banding over RNY for many of the same reasons mentioned. I think both are great procedures but one needs to choose what they feel is best for them.
