Wk 1= 17.56 Wk 2= 11.75 Wk 3 = 24.4 Total = 53.71 This is more difficult than I had anticipated, but I'm grateful for the support and accountability of this group!

Wow! That's impressive! Any secrets you'd care to share. I was banded 12/21. I am down 15 lbs since 12/14.

1/1-1/5 17.5 miles. I'm so thankful for this challenge. It keeps me accountable!

I use a free Nike run app that tracks your route and records your data. I like that I can have an accurate measure no matter where I choose to walk.

Count me in too! I've been reading posts on this site for a while, but this is the first time I've decided to participate. I was banded on 12/21. This will be great way to stay motivated! Can't wait to see everyone's success!

My husband and I decided to pull money out from our 401k and invest in my health. I am excited to meet other Aug bander!

It was an initial sleep study. You do bring up an interesting point. I hope someone can answer you question. It is amazing how complicated it can be to jump through all of the hoops in order to get healthy! -

No sleep apnea! I suppose I should be happy, but I'm disappointed in the fact that it makes the journey more complicated or maybe impossible that insurance will pay. I need to call the Bariatric office on Monday. Any creative suggestions? -

My BMI is 35 so I need a co-morbidity condition to be qualified to be banded. Sleep apnea qualifies. My husband "diagnosed" me months ago! Lol! It's hard to be patient when I am reading about everyone's success. It is reassuring to hear of all the different weightless journeys. Where are you located? It's unfortunate that you need to wait so long for all of you initial consultations. Take care my friend -

Tomorrow I have an appt to find the results of my sleep study, sleep apnea = insurance pays, no sleep apnea = I pay. I also have my 2nd dietician appt tomorrow. Thanks for heads up about the water weight equivalent! -
