I'm trying my hardest to do my part to make this most effective. I've been working hard and I'm sure it will pay off in the end. Did you ever reach a point where your weight loss slowed drastically?

Good luck on surgery day-you will be just fine!

Who is your surgeon?

Hey-Have you taken a look at the Girlfriends-Women of Color support group? It's nice to relate to sistahs with similar body types...

Oh, okay. You have to keep me posted on your recovery. I had my first fill scheduled for today, but had to reschedule and can't go until Nov 2nd...I'm going to have to kick it up a notch next week with my food choices!

We can keep each other motivated!

Hey pookiemp!! How was your surgery? Mine was a success. Good luck with everything!

You have made great progress. Dr.Benavides was my surgeon as well and I was banded on Thursday 09/24/09. I am down 25lbs so far and have about 80-90 to go. We will see-I don't really have a goal weight, I will know I'm done when I like what I see again! Your stories are motivating and so are your pictures. It helps me to see a woman with curves similar to mine have such a great outcome! Great Job and continued success.
