hi, we are in the same boat. i admire you. i weigh 217lbs and will get the band soon. i also want to weigh 150lbs. i had so much energy. i am on hb meds, cpap machine. i was going to get banded last year but thought i could do it on my own. i did lose weight (15) with exercising and eating but gained it all back. when i don't see results, i give up. i love working out and eating healthy but it is discouraging when i don't see weight loss. i have all my paperwork complete. i just need to do the dietician and psy eval. how long did it take you to lose the weight. thanks
