Goal weight and then some... :)

Hi there.

It's been a while since I've been on this site. My surgery was in early February of 2010. My weight at that time was 227 pounds, and I am 5'9". I paid for my own surgery.

One year and a month later, I have passed my initial goal weight of 155 pounds and now weigh 139 pounds. I wear a US size 6. I haven't weighed this little since I was in high school and people can't get over how amazing I look.

I wanted to share my story because I remember reading others' success stories right before and after I had my own surgery. Those stories inspired me to keep going when I was scared or when things were tough. People, hang in there - you can do this - and trust me, it will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself!

Lots of love,

Ann

Ann, I appreciate your story! I have been approved since last October and I have now rescheduled banding in July. I am scared of the unknown, of all the stories. I want to be thin and healthy
