:-h Hello Washington bandters!
I have read all of the your post's and I think it is about time that I say Hi! I read all the post before I was banded and thought how nice it will be to have a support group once banded. Well that time has come. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on 2/27/07. Everything went really well and I can't believe that after all the pre-op stuff I am banded! It all went so fast.
Tomorrow is my first day that I and eat real food again. And I have to tell you I don't know where to start. After not eating "normal" foods for about 6 weeks it is hard. What did everyone else start with? Did you fine any foods that you could just not eat?
Well I just wanted to say hello. I would love to meet with all of you when you have your next meeting. I live in Vancouver, WA so it would be a drive to come up there but well worth it. I have a friend that I can stay with in Lacey WA.
I look forward to meeting all of you!
