Hello Christys_98 . I know just what you mean.. Am in the same place as you. I was told that I have a rockin body.. And wow had that made me feel so good.. You did it you made it. You are no longer that FAT GIRL AS YOU PUT IT. You are now that skinny girl, enjoy the tears and all that good that comes with your new look. CONGRATS ... And all the best wishes to you.. LOVE IT!!!

I'm flying on cloud 10...with nothing stopping me. I had a tough couple weeks with my band slipping when I had the flu....a scary setback! It totally made me lose sight of all I HAVE accomplished. Its an amazing feeling!

Thank you so much!!

You are so beautiful! I would have said a model, seriously!

I'm sorry about your setback! Was this stomach flu? I threw up a lot after my second fill and I always worried the band would slip but I guess I'm past that. Did your surgeon attach the band to the stomach with a stitch or two?

After reading your posts and responses I think you are doing fantastic! It looks like you have picked yourself up and moved on, which is AMAZING. The weight loss is a sign of the person and drive you have and that will take you VERY FAR in life. Best wishes to you!

Thank you Sandradee...made me blush just a bit! Yes I had the stomach flu...I've never been so sick in my life. I should of went to the Dr. and had my band unfilled...but thought Naaaa "it can't happen to me"....I'll never think so lightly again. Dr. Nguyen was able to move my band back up into place and stitched it in....and there is some question on whether my orginal Dr. where I used to live place it correctly in the beginning. I never did any x-rays or barium swallows or anything to check the placement after surgery. This time...they took all kinds of pics the to make sure it was all ok. I really love my Doctor...could ask for someone so supportive and explained all of this to me. Reassuring me it wasn't my fault. And now I have this site....which is amazing. Hard to talk to family and friends...they just don't understand.

Again, Thank you for the compliments and have a wonderful day!
