Hi I am 35 years old and I was banded about 6 weeks ago and have lost 35 lbs!!! I have been very strict about my eating since being banded and I feel just using total self control right now to keep my food intake to a minimum. I have my first fill on April 4 and am very excited and a little nervous. I love being able to come to banded living it has been the biggest help in so many ways! Looking forward to lots of success and new friends! I have gone from 263lbs to 228lbs and feel like my goal is finally going to be something that can happen!

Your goal CAN happen! So happy for you! I'm 35 yrs old as well and had my surgery 1 week ago today. Just now starting to feel better and getting back to a normal routine. Self control and will power have never been great friends of mine... but I know to be successful at this, we have to be best friends

Day of banding weight 230lbs. Have lost 15lbs so far. Just struggling through this liquid diet phase for 3 weeks... and trying to remember what I want for my future!!!

Keep up the good work!
