Hi my name is Donna. I am 62 years old from MA. I was hoping to lose all of my weight by now but did'nt. When I started on my journey in 2005 going through the consultation and the phycological part before the surgery, the surgical team wanted me to have the RNY because I had a sugar addiction. I did not want that. I was so excited when I heard about the band. Well, since starting at 314 lb, I am 230. I would like to get to my goal of 160 and will do that in 2014. I can do this. I know the good thing is if I didn't have the band I would be eating 4 slices of pizza. Now I can only eat one, if that. Or go to McDonalds and have a burger, fries and a shake like I use to. I am lucky I can eat a half of a burger. So, it's the curse of the sugar that is stopping me. I will just keep going forward.

My band is the fullest it's going to get. Sugar is my problem not food. It still a good thing.
