I'm happy to see so many people have lost 100 pounds or more. I am 140 over my "ideal" weight. I knew naysayers would come out of their holes and try to beat me down and sure enough it happened today. My sis-in-law said that she has looked into lapband surgery and "every doctor" that she has spoken to says it is not as effective with people that have more than 70 pounds to lose. What the.....???? :cry

i smell bs. I would call her up and ask her who she's talked to about it. My thinking is she just grabbed this out of the air. Or maybe she talked to one doctor..and now it's turned into "doctors". This is pretty common thing for people to do. My surgeon wouldn't even work on anyone unless they had at least 100 pounds to loose.

That is so awesome! Congratulations to all of you one your weight loss! I have about 28 pounds to go before I hit one hundred, and I can't wait. I was scared at first about being able to lose all the weight I needed to. My doctor even told me that I should have really considered the bypass with how much I have to loose. I was so mad because two years before that he was completely against the bypass. I am just thankful I have the band it was the best choice for me and I just wanted to tell you girls Congratulations. I know we will all see goal!

This is my new favoirite site! I am justing getting started with my first appointment. I will look at the this site daily and know it will work. After decades of failed diets, it is easy to think in the back of your mine.... I'll lose weigh, but, I will never be slim. This is a great boost for postive attitudes. THANK YOU!!!!:clap2:

You'll be what you think you'll be. So if you want to be slim, then think it, say it, write it down. You'll be slim one day.

I hit my 100 pound weight loss this morning.

Thankyou, thankyouverymuch~!

It took me 16 months and I have only 4 more to go.

Quite literally, this has been a weight off my back. Everything is easier, exercising, getting up, walking, living.....I just am exstatic.

It's amazing how different life feels minus 100!

Hi everyone I would like to be added to this list

My surgery was May 4, 2006 and as of that date I have lost 145 lbs. I have about 35-40 lbs to reach my final goal weight.

To anyone that has doubts that the lapband works wonders for people that have lots of weight to lose....let me proudly update my to-date weight loss....261 pounds! That's right, I've LOST 261 pounds in 2 1/2 years. It not only works, it saves lives!
