6 months in and no regrets!!

[finallytime 134]

Had my 6 month check up today and down 68lbs since preop began on 12/3! And that included a few really bad weeks of work and personal travel where I gained about 7lbs, but lost them again . Even RAN a 3.5 mile race last week in NY. Wasn't fast or necessarily pretty but I did it!!!! This is the best decision I have ever made for myself!

And still no fills!

That's awesome!

Congrats! That's awesome.

I do have a question - you said "still no fills". Doesn't every band get filled? I'm only 5 days post op so it's all new to me.

Thanks.

Well done hon, I think that exercise is the key to it all. To be dong it all with no fills is amazing - do you have restriction?

Congratulations! I can't wait for a few months out. Keep motivating us with your positiveness!

No, not every band gets filled, for some people (not many) the very presence of the band is enough.

Not every band gets fills, I have been very fortunate that although I don't feel restriction as of right now the band is enough.

And yes running would have NEVER been possible. I started running downhill only on 3/28 and literally lasted a minute. Bought the couch to 5k app for my phone and it changed my life!!

Thanks for all the encouragement!!!!
