Well I was banded in March of 2010 and just ran my first 1/2 marathon. 2 hourS and 16 minutes-YEAH!!! I have lost a total of 91 pounds and feel better than ever. My biggest advice to new lapbanders is start walking as soon as you feel well enough and make execise a part of your lifestyle forever. I started as soon as the doctor said it was OK and I would have never thought I could ever run, much less 13.1 miles. I hope someone will be encouraged by this and decide to make the change in their life not only with eatting because when you get the band it is a given that will change. Make sure to incorporate exercise into your life. I have 3 children so if I can make the time for it so can you!!!

What a beautiful post! Congratulations on your half marathon and your success! I know what a true accomplishment that is! I personally cannot run (knees), but am training for the MS 150 next year, and could not have ever even thought about that if I hadn't been banded! Let's all give a "Whoop Whoop" for changing our lives!
