Hi Everyone,
My one year anniversary is this week on November 14, 2008. I was banded on November 14, 2007 and at this time, I weighed 274 LBS. I am proud to say I have lost 91 lbs. Although, the 91 lbs sounds good, the best part is I can keep up with my nine year old son without being tired. Two weeks ago we raced across the football field after his practice and the first thing he said when we finished is mom you are not out of breath. I just smiled and say Thank you God for the opportunity to have good insurance that paid 100% of the cost to have the surgery, thanks for keeping me when I was so obese and thanks for keeping me on the right path to allow me to lose the 91lbs. Thanks for the BAND I will not trade it and it really works. I remember feeling down this time last year because I had let myself get so out of shape and now I look and say what a difference a year make. SO, if you are in the decision mode go for it. If you are in the beginning phase, stick with it and be patientm it will come off. Good Luck to all of you:tt1:
