Hello? :: taps her mic:: Is this thing on? Is anyone out there? This is my official APB (All Points Bulletin) for all of my fellow Bandits. This thread used to be very active and I loved coming here. It helped me through a ton of my moments and gave me more encouragement than you know. This also used to be a great thread to offer one another encouragement, kicks in the butt (when needed), and to share our successes as well as those frustrating plateus and bumps in the roads that we all have had at some point. Pre-Ops...Newbies..our seasoned Bandits...*Everyone*... has something that they contribute to this thread that may help a fellow bandster. So if you have got a second to spare, just stop in and say hi and tell everyone how things are going. Post some pics, too. Show your face. Show your progress. Share recipes. Meet friends. Share those NSV and other highlights!! Oh yeah...*tell a friend about this site and the Bagnato Bandits section.* I think that we have forgotten to mention this site at some of the group meeting. So spread the word!! I look forward to hearing from everyone. Wishing you great success on your weightloss/healthly lifestyle journey and in all that you do. --Brina

Hello Everyone: I was banded in February 2008. This makes me 4 years post op. (I still can't believe it!) I think that I am doing pretty well. I am down more than 100lbs and have maintianed that. I still have about 30lbs that I am working on losing. How are the rest of the 2008(and earlier) bandsters doing? I know that when we all initially were banded, we reported to this forum/website like it was our parole officer. Now that we have been banded for a while, I am seeing less and less of those who have been banded for a year or greater. This site is still an excellent and frequently used resource for me. Hearing from you guys keeps me going. So here is my roll call to see how the 2008 and earlier bansters are doing? Share your up, downs, advice given, or lessons learned.
