Wow - I can't believe it's been almost a year since my surgery. Where is the rest of the April '05 crew??

I'm down a little over 55lbs... started off at 255 and was around 198 last time I checked.

Hey Lisa! How are you? What ever happened with you and your fills and your doctor? I have wondered about you. 55 pounds is so cool! I am down about 40 from banding, 60 over-all from 2 years ago. It's a long slow process but I'm totally happy so far! Good to see you here!

I switched Doctors... I have a new one who is awesome, and most of that 55 lbs has been lost through him in the past few months!

I haven't been on here for a while for a few reasons... one of the main reasons being I'm trying to juggle full time work & school, and it's taking all my time up! =) Also, I've found that I'm more successful when I'm not comparing myself to others... I was getting too discouraged at times! I'm glad to hear it's worked out good for you too though - it seems like you're doing great!! =)

I am doing great also. I am down 70lbs, slower than most banded at the same time but I sure am not complaining. My life has done a 360 turn since I was banded. I am so much healthier. I do so much more, my kids enjoy me more. Instead of sitting around eating and moaning I get out there. I have got back into sport. I love volleyball and I gave it up. I have taken it back up and I am loving it. A couple of weeks ago I had my TT and that was just the icing. I didnt know life could be so good. When one good thing happens other things seem to follow. I dont know what it is but I am one happy chappy at the moment.

I love my band!!!!!!!!
