Creekwood 702 Posted May 18, 2013 I walked in the survivor lap of the Relay For Life today. I've been cancer free for 11 years now! The last time that I walked it was in 2011. I looked at some pictures and realized I was at my heaviest (395), now I'm at 323. The pictures show a huge difference. I was 369 when I called to make my consultation and 333 on day of surgery (5/6). So obviously i didn't lose all my weight with band but i was only 26 pounds lighter when i set up my consultation. I didn't even want to wear the survivor shirt at my heaviest because it was way too tight (biggest they had 3X). In fairness today was a 4X. But, it feels good to be 72 pounds lighter than my heaviest weight. I went from 395 to 315 dieting by myself but ended up at 369 and decided to have surgery and am now at 323. This time I'm not gaining it back!! 11 labwalker, zaknjordansmom, ☠carolinagirl☠ and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creekwood 702 Posted May 19, 2013 Way to go Eric!! I've spent many' date=' many nights walking laps at Relay For Life. Congrats on your success. [/sup'] Thanks! That's great! We had to leave early, usually I stay a little longer (never stayed all night). My niece has done it with her high school friends for several years now. They have three tents and all stay the night. 1 KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
