After fighting the weight loss battle for 25 years I have finally taken the major step towards taking my life back. I am now 10weeks post op, glad I made the decision and am very excited about the future. I am definatly not your typical bandster, I am a 41 yr old constuction worker who is also a real biker. After living the rock n roll party lifestyle for the last 20 years I have finally decided to get healthy and get fit. The band seems to me the most safe and intelligent way to do that. Inspired by my Mother who had gastric bypass 5 yrs ago, I was determined to lose the wieght but did not like the idea of the bypass. Here's to the future and to good health.Well 4-1/2 months into it I am down 87lbs total and 78 since my surgery! I have lost 8" off my waist and now off of my Blood pressure meds too. Best thing I ever did for myself! Here's to loosing my last 40 lbs!
