Hello from not so sunny California

[SunnyCalifornia]

Hi All,

I have checked out the forums for a while now. I was was banded at OCC in October of 2007 (I can't believe it's been a year and a half!!!). I have had ups and downs with the band, but I am grateful for the experience. I could not have come this far without it.

So, here's the stats:

Starting weight: 215

I have had a few fills, one unfill, and I currently have 3.2cc in a 4cc band.

Current weight: 183

I wanted to finally participate in the forum because I feel kind of isolated with my band. I don't really talk to anyone about it. I don't know anyone else who has one. I think I need someone to bounce ideas off of. I have a wonderfully supportive partner, but he doesn't know exactly what I am going through. You know what I mean?

Anyway, I am happy to read your posts. I may be a little shy about participating, but I do read them and I get a lot of strength and perspective from them.

Lara
