Banded For Three Years!

[Lap Band Gal 41]

Just a quick update.

I've been banded for 3 years now.

I lost about 120 lbs in about 14 months.

I've maintained my weight loss now for 22 months.

Success with the Lap-Band is totally possible with a lot of hard work!

you look so young!!!

it is worth the work, right!!!? when I get discouraged, I go shopping and remember how hard it used to be to look at myself in the mirror. now I can smile and say thanks - to me and my band for all the hard work we have done!!!

Congrats! Been following your blog since I got banded last Jan. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration you give me. I would have NEVER believed that I would fall in love with Zumba and boot camp. I gave Zumba a try after reading about your fun and success with it. Now I can't imagine life without it

Thank you!

I have also been banded for three years. I've lost right at 110 pounds. I went almost two years without a fill and never gained any weight. A few weeks ago I started feeling like I needed to start losing again so I made an appt to get filled. I was filled on a wednesday and in the ER on X-rays showed no slippage, so they treated me for gastritis and esophagitis. That's been a little over a week ago and I still have lots of pain right after I eat. I am able to eat band is not to tight. I'm hoping it's just my stomach getting use to the fill.
