Ok guys after eight years of consideration/insurance hoops, I've finally gotten approval for my band next month!!! Can you tell I'm a little EXCITED!! I know everyone loses weight at different speeds but how much weight should I expect to lose in 6 months? I ask because we have a Caribbean cruise scheduled for Jan '15 and I would like to get a few things this summer while it's on sale plus it'll be hard/impossible to find swimsuits in Kansas in January.. Thanks!!
