Hello all- Thanks for checking out my Blog! I am Michelle a 26 year old web-designer who lives in Las Vegas with my wonderful husband and our 6 year old son! I was "banded" on Feb 28th 2008 by Dr. Ortiz and I hope this blog serves as outlet for my thoughts, feelings and fears as I start this new journey in my life. Hopefully by sharing these things in a public forum I can help those who are newly banded or those thinking about getting a lap band know what bandster life is like!!
