Hello all,
I have been banded now, for nearly 2 1/2 years by Dr. Yau and Dr. Joffe from the TLBC in Toronto, Canada. I now live in Glasgow, Scotland and went for a fill adjustment today as I suddenly became uncomfortably tight the past couple months. I learned today that I have now lost 105 pounds which I am thrilled about, and feel fantastic. Progress has been slow and steady for me, and my first year saw much less weight loss than I had originally hoped. Realizing today that I've lost over 100 pounds, I see that first year was important to go through, and that in the grand scheme of things doesn't really matter. I am now at a point where eating is in control and the excess weight I've lost makes exercising so much easier now. I would never be here if it wasn't for the band and though I still have 70 pounds to go, I know it is achievable!
For anyone just starting this journey, be excited, be diligent, and be patient with yourself. Write me anytime!!!
