Hello everyone! My name is Danyal and I am a fellow "Bandster". I was banded about 4 years ago in the summer of 2008 at the ripe young age of 18... which currently makes me 22. At my heaviest I was 270lbs, and have lost about 110lbs of that weight... which in my calculations is a whole person (tiny person). May I just say, none of that 110lbs came off easily! These past 4 years have been absolutely heartbreaking, overwhelmingly exciting and everywhere in between. It has been an emotional roller coaster, and life has changed so much. There were times where I felt like giving up, and regretting having ever gotten the surgery in the first place... but at this point in time I know it was the right decision. I have lived by the idea that every little bit makes a difference, and that couldn't be more true! I haven't really decided the style of writing I plan to pursue with this Blog, but I am thinking a more "free-writing" style will suit me well. I am here to answer any inquiries you might have about the surgery, and feel free to ask it all!! From relationship changes, to physical changes,and emotional challenges ... Believe me I have been through it all, and I hope that I can help a few of you out along your Journey!
