[teach724 0]

I Was banded on June 15, 2010. I lost 93 pounds but gained approx 10 back over the winter. Still happy with my progress but finding it harder to get back on track. I really want to lose about 25 more pounds.

Anyone else in the situation ???

I was banded June 7, 2010. I have lost 119 pounds...I maintained weight during this past winter for 6 months...then decided to get one more slight fill in April...lost 9 lbs so far from fill. I am hoping to lose 11 more by June 21...as I am having plastics done on that day!! Don't see it happening, but that will be okay! I am very happy with my band and progress...now to get rid of my wrinkly skin!! lol Good luck to your last 25

I was banded June 3, 2010. I have lost 110 lb's to date and am hoping to lose 15 lb's more. I try not to put an end date on it at this point because I am so happy with who I am now that losing that next 15 will just be icing on the top. I have started doing P90X which I am thrilled with because I CAN DO IT! Which would not have been possible 110 lb's ago. I actually recently let a little out of my band because I find it harder now to follow all the rules and was getting stuck too frequently. I count calories and have invested in a Bodybugg.

I think that is my favorite part of my band, I have so much control. I can do other diets now with success. I actually feel like I am normal now. the weight doesn't just melt off, but I CAN diet and make a difference, and I can maintain both of which were not options for me before. I have had many months where I just fight to maintain and motivation is non existent, but that's OK too I am still so much better off than I was. And eventually I get over the humps and start chipping away at the weight again.

How did your plastics go? What did you have done and how much did it end up costing you? I thought I would try P90X and see how much difference extreme working out would make before I took the plastic surgery plunge.

I'm still here too!! Started at 237 now at 157! Total of 80 pounds.. I'd like to take off an additional 10 to 15 but it's tough and while i like to have the goal, i wouldn't be heartbroken if I didn't. I wear a size 8 and feel great!! LapBand is the best decision i've ever made for myself! Has never been an easy trek, but i can truly say its so rewarding and I'm so proud of myself for sticking to it and getting there.
