In just 6 short days, I will have been banded for 6 months. I feel like December 18, 2009 was kind of a rebirth for me and a lease on a new life. If I had to do it over again...I would. I'm down 46 pounds. My goal is 50 by the 6 month mark. There's still time. I am ever so grateful to all of my lapband talk friends, especially the December Delights. I feel like I've always had your support and enjoy ever second I spend reading your blogs, and posts.
