Satiated_Sue

I was banded in August 2006 in Toronto. I started out at 286.5 and currently weigh 148. I went from a size 28 to a size 6/8 and am continuing to maintain my weight and recently had a circumfrenchial (body lift) which removed 9 lbs of skin. I don't exercise (intentionally) but enjoy a very active lifestyle now that I'm half my size. I weigh myself about twice a month and am cautious to stay within 3-5 pounds of my current weight so I don't allow the high calorie foods to take over my life again. Today I eat to live..... no longer the other way around. I'm 48 years old, 5'3" and have absolutely no regrets...the band has given me my life back!
