  6. Thank you so much for posting "true" before and after photos of yourself. It took me forever to find photos to which I could relate!! I hope to begin my journey after the first of the year. I had to switch benefits 'cause my current HMO doesn't cover the procedure. :frown:

    I am about 7 weeks post op. I am having some early signs up sagging skin. You look wonderful. Did you have any problems with sagging skin?

  8. Thanks for your reply, Mrs. Nesha. Good luck with your last 20 pounds. You look amazing and I'm glad to know you feel the same.

     

    Have a great holiday!

  9. Hello Nesha

    My name is Deborah, I live in Arkansas and is thinking about getting the band. Do the location of your port bother you.

    The Family.....

    My family!! I love my babies:)
  11. Thanks for your comment. I started at 274lbs and now I am 180 lbs. with 20 left to loose. My greatest motivations wee my children! I no longer wanted to be a young unhealthy person! This band is not easy! I had to learn how to eat and behave like a bandster. I still don't always follow the rules>\ this was really a lifestyle change for me. I had to change my bx's and thoughts about food. I had more food issues then I initially thought! It's all been worth it! I feel so much better. I have absolutely no regrets!

  12. I am great! Thanks! I am feeling great w/the band. I have no regrets. Its been a long and tough road for me! I really had to adjust to the new way of eating. I still have issues with following the rules...but, I have no regrets! This was a hard decision for me to make...I just went for it and I am happy that I did:) are you being banded?

  13. Thanks for your kind comments! I stared at 274lbs and now I am 180lbs. I posted a blog about my journey. I still have 20lbs left and they are kicking my butt!

    Now, I have my band...."NOW WHAT"!

    I left that hospital ready for this challenge. I was on liquid diet for 2 weeks. I hated this....I have issues with drinking shakes and gagged every one of the down! I also began to feel hungry! This sucked! I then started the pureed and soft foods. This was the worst part for me but, I was expecting it and ready to take this challenge head on! I initially lost 5-8 lbs per month. I was struggling but began to see my body change. Then I received my first fill. I was terrified. My 1st fill was under fluro. This was the first time I saw my new band in action. I was pleased yet disgusted. I guess I am a queasy person overall:tongue_smilie: I had to close my eyes and it really was not bad at all. Then the PB's began!!!! Everyday!! I had to learn how to eat like a bandster. This is still a work in progress. Slowly eat, chew 20 times, then swallow!!! I was not ready to adjust to that. When I am hungry...I want to EAT! Not think and eat! My support groups really helped me learn how to be a bandster. I began to transform into this person who was ready to follow the rules and let the band work!!! and WORK it did! I began to loose 8+ lbs per month consistently. I have now lost 81lbs in 1 year! I work out 4 times per month and let my band work! I received a total of 9 fills in this last year. I have been too loose, too tight, and all of the above! I am finally at my sweet spot! I still PB when I don't follow the rules. I still overeat at times, I am not perfect at this......I am still learning everyday! My band changes with my emotions, the time of day, and during hormone changes. This journey not only helped me loose weight but learn about my body! This was the best decision I ever made. :thumbup:
