Thanks loulou09. I am very proud and thankful for the band and for the support I received from everyone around me including those on this site.

I set my goal prior to surgery. When they asked me to choose my goal, because I have always been overweight I couldn't imagine myself ever weighing less than 165 pounds. So I thought I would aim high and said 150. They were like "no, you will do better than that." I didn't believe them but I looked at the BMI chart and picked a weight just inside normal-137. At 137 pounds, if I never lost another pound I would still be happy. But on my 5'4" frame, I still have some fat in the lower tummy area and a tiny bit remaining on my upper thighs so I decided "what the heck", and I set a new goal of 120 pounds. I am pretty sure I can do that easily.
