Also, don't be too disappointed. The scale is going down and not up right?? I know it can be frustrating, but you can do it! -

Hey there!!
Congratulations! I can so relate- started at 284 and on Jan 9th hda surgery. now at 169. We were looking at videos from our last vacation and my husband said he can't even remember me looking like that- it is hard for me, too. I am so happy now!! You look great! Good luck on the next 40. I am so happy to share sucess stories!!!! I went back to Illinois for my brothers wedding- it was so great to fit in the seat and not have to turn sideways to go down the aisle! We are going on vacation in a month and i am so excited to be healthier. Still have about 20 or so to go, but hey- alot better than 135. Congrats!! and maybe we could keep in touch for support?!

Hey there! Also, the doctor is meant to help you, not to be scared of. This is your jouney and he is there to help you. It cost to much money to feel intimidated by him. Use him to help you. good luck with your journey!!

Don't be nervous, sweetie! It will be great. I was nervous, too. This will be a life changing thing so much for the better for you! I was banded Jan. 9th. I have lost 104# so far! It has been so good so far. I have had slips here and there, but all in all it is incredible. Take time to heal and get better and you will be on your way to a new you!!! Good luck and may God bless your surgery.- Tonya -

The Dr. in Denver is super! I live here in Colorado and his name is Dr. Kirshenbaum. That is correct on the cost of surgery and he is so awesome!! I had surgery Jan. 9th and have lost almost 100 pounds. I had lost my 100 and then went on a cruise-:thumbdown: that is ok though! it is going to come off:):scared2: Feel free to let me know if you need any info on Dr. K:) -
Wow- you are an inspiration! So far I have lost 96. Had surgery Jan 9th 09. Just went on a cruise and gained some back- had hit 100 so was disappointed, but just get right back to it. Did you have rough patches? Thanks for your story! Keeps the motivation going, ya know!!
