You look great girl!! Keep up the good work. It's so worth the reward. I know!!

Thanks for the comment. I have lost a total of 110 lbs. I started off at 255 the day of surgery. I'm now at around 140-150 lbs. It varies. I'm glad to hear you were finally approved for your surgery. You are going to feel great after you start loosing weight. Let me know when you are having the surgery and if you have any questions after surgery just write me and I'll be happy to help you. My younger sister at the surgery 3 months prior to me so I would call her all the time with questions. She has lost 120 lbs & her starting weight was 285. Good Luck!!

You look great! Keep up the good work!

You look great. Keep up the good work! How much have you lost?

Part 2

I only gained back 25lbs during my whole pregnancy. After I had my daughter on Jan. 28, 2008 a month later I went in for a fill. They started me at where I had left off so the weight came off really fast after that. I have lost a total of 95lbs since I was first banded. I hope to lose at least 20 more. But even if I hadn't lost another pound I am still so happy cause I have my daughter now. I tell my husband all the time that I'm not sure if I could do half the things I do with my daughter if I hadn't lost all this weight. I just have so much more energy now. I feel like the old me again...It's great! Good luck with your weight loss and just remember that it takes time but you will get there eventually. Feel free to write if you have any questions. Bye!!

Hi! Thanks for the picture comment. My weight loss has been a roller coaster ride. After 12 years of marriage and thinking I couldn't have kids my baby girl popped up. I was banded in Mach 2007. Apparently got pregnant a month later but didn't know it. Found out in Aug. 2007 that I was 4 months pregnant. By this time I had already lost 40 lbs. So I actually lost 40 lbs my first 4 months of pregnancy. After I found out I was pregnant I had all my fill removed and was able to eat normal again....YA!

Hi! Thanks for the comments. My daughter is a miracle baby. I didn't think I could have kids and after 12 years of marriage she just poped up one day. I actually got pregnant a month after I was banded but didn't know tell I was 4 month pregnant. I actually lost 40 lbs my first 4 months of pregnancy. After I found out I was pregnant I had my fill removed and gained back 25 lbs during my whole pregnancy. It was nice to eat normal again....LOL. A month after I had my daughter I went back in for my fill and they started me back at where I had left off. That's when the weight really started coming off. I have lost a total of 95 lbs since I was banded two years ago. It's been a roller coaster ride but I'm just happy the weight is off now. I tell my husband all the time I don't think I would have had the energy to do all the things I do with my daughter if I had not lost the weight. Keep up the good work and I'm sure you will get to your goal.

Hi how's it going? My weight journey has been a slow process to just because I got pregnant a month after I was banded. I actually lost 40 lbs my first 5 months of pregnancy..didn't know I was pregnant. Found out and gained back 25 lbs. I had my baby and now have lost a total of 95 lbs. It's been 2 years since my surgery. I'm just happy the weight is coming off even if it was a roller coster ride. Keep up the good work and I am sure you will meet your goal by the end of the year.

Thanks for the comment. When were you banded? How is going for you?

Hope all is going good with you weight loss.

Thanks for the comment on my daughter. She truly is my miracle. You seem to be doing a great job with you weight loss. Keep up the good work. It all pays off in the end.

Glad to see your joined. Hey I have the before surgery pictures of you. Want me to send them to you?

Sorry to hear about you jaw. Hope your doing better. Kind of sucks that you have to wait so long. But at least you can still have it done. It will be worth it in the end. I wait back for a 2 fills already and have lost another 10 lbs. since having the baby. Right now I'm kind of stuck but I think my body is trying to play catch up from giving birth. My little sister already hit 110 lbs! I am so proud of her. I'll try and put some pictures of her online so you can see. Well hope your doing better and cheer up you will have it done soon. Bye!

Hey just writting to see how you are doing? Did you have the surgery already?

She is going to be a heartbreaker....LOL! I went in for a fill today. I got .2 cc more so now I am at 2.7 cc in a 4 cc band. The Dr. said I should be good for a while and for me to eat lots of protein. I think that is why I haven't been loosing lately. I have gotten into this habit of snacking during the day which is not good. Anyway I walked a mile today so hopefully that will get the ball rolling. Now I am on liquids for the next 3 days. Hopefully I can make it. Usually by the last day I am hungry. What is your presugery diet?

I actually have been banded for 13 months now. I decided to get banded after my younger sister did it first in December 06. She lost about 30 pounds her first 3 months so that was enough convincing for me. I got banded on March 15, 2007. During the first few months after the surgery I would ask my sister do you ever feel nausea or pains in your stomach. She would tell me she would never feel anything like that. Well for a few days in August of 07 I wasn't feeling good. I was getting a pain in my chest so I decided one night to go in to the hospital thinking something was wrong with my band. Come to find out on August 14, 2007 that I was 4 months pregnant to my surprise. That now explains the nausea...LOL! I had already lost 40 pounds since being banded. So I actually lost 40 pounds my first 4 months of pregnancy. She is my miracle baby because my husband and I have been togeather 12 years and I didn't think I could have kids cause I have PCOS. So even if I don't loose more weight it was worth paying the $$$ to end up with my baby! I have gotten 2 fills since having her but I'm still at the same weight. I am scheduled to go back on Tuesday for another fill. Hopefully now I will start loosing again. Anyway, when are you having surgery?

Thanks for lovely complement on my babies pictures. She really is my miracle baby and I'm so proud to show her off. I'm sure your kids are beautiful to.
