It's so hard for me to believe that it's almost been a year since my lap band surgery. I can remember like yesterday anticipating what it would be like and how much weight I would actually loss with the band. I have never been happier with the way my life has changed since I had my band. I am wearing a strapless dress today that's focus on my waist area and the amazing thing it's a size 14. If anyone would have told me almost a year ago I could get myself into a size 14, I would have laughed endless and tell them they must be out of their mind. The entire way that I dress now is so much different than I ever could have imagined it to be. I am dress in much attractive clothes that shows off my figure. OMG- I never imagined me having a figure again. I had given up on the way my body uses to be, and I accepted that big girl look. Everything I wore in the past was oversized to cover up my huge butt and all the fat rolls in my stomach area. I have always tired to look very nice but buying clothes was a limited option.

 

Now I look the way my body uses to look over 14 years ago in almost everything I put on. This summer I am able to wear the cuties’ summer dresses and sleeveless shorts. I would never have shown my bare arms off in the past for nothing in the world.

 

People are always making little remarks to my husband about my weight lost and asking do he like the new me1 He just smiles and says I look really nice. Over all, this has been a very good decision that's definitely changed my life for the better. I feel like I am living the good life in many areas of my life.

 

I do love my band!!!!

Congrats to you and hoping I will be in a 14 also. I can squeeze in a 16 but won't go out in public with them on but hoping it won't be long. I love my band also but like I have posted before, it is not the easy way out. You must work with your band and listen to it. I typed that for others to read it because I know you KNOW how it works. I am so proud of you and tell your husband he is a lucky man to have you. Congrats again to you,

Judy

Strut you stuff all summer long!!!!!

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I do appreciate everyone's support and encouragement. Yes, Judyjones having this band is not the easy way out. If someone wants to see real results they have to put real work into their band. That means working out when you don't feel like it and not over eating because the temptation is there. Learning to respect the decision you have made to have a different life. Understanding that the band is only a tool to help assist you with you weight lost goals. I have learned that every single decision I make will affects my weight loss in a positive or negative way. This road has not been easy but it's worth ever thing I have been confronted with. God has truly blessed me through this entire process! </SPAN></P>
