Feeling great about my decison to have the Lap Band. I ve had many ups and downs just as all other banders even still i would'nt change a thing. 67 pounds down I am proud of myself. I am physically more active now by just pushing myself. My back pain is much improved and even my arthritis seems to be enjoying my new lifestyle. I ve eliminated the need for two of my medications I ve taken for yrs. I realize now that the meds had some side effects that I had accepted as my normal. They too I have been left behind. I am enjoying something I had stoped enjoying for quite awhile SHOPPING !!!!!!!!:w00t: ( from 24 t0 18 I am really stoked ! I love donating my big ol stuff to those who need, a even bigger:thumbup:

Congrats! Keep up the wonderful work.

Wonderful! I am at a plateu right now. I am four + months out and have lost 55 pounds. I would love to be where you are at the 6 month mark. I just donated four 55 gallon bags of size 26-30 clothes this weekend. Now my closet looks lonely with three pairs of 22 jeans. But I am smiling really big :-) I know you are too! Keep up the good work.
