Hi everyone..

I'm Kelly, I was banded on June 3rd and so far I have lost 20 pounds. I am at the point now where my willpower has to be in full gear and I need as much support as possible. I think like most of us that are on here, we aren't so good that the willpower and exercise gig. I know that I need to do this to make this band work for me. Any support would be welcomed. I am from the hampton roads area...

Thanks for listening!

Hi Kelly! I was banded on July 13th. I'm down about 20lbs too (including my pre-op diet.) I completely agree that its taken more will power than I anticpated but I try to remind myself that this time, this weight loss journey is for good! I think about going through the surgery and of course the $10K I am paying on !! I'm looking forward to getting my fills going and see if that helps curve my hunger. Have you had any fills yet?
