Welcome Robyn,

You should try and hook up with Yasmina she was looking for someone from Thunder Bay, it is always great to meet other people who are banded and hang out and see how the journey is going.

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey

Hi Robyn: I am fron the boonies North Vancouver, BC. I can't seem to find many people banded out here so I thought "what the hey, I try and hook up with someone from another province and see how they are making out." Afraid I am an older bandster. 63, retired, married and love to travel. I was 299 when banded and now 268. When my weight goes down, I think the airplane seats will be more comfortable. Doddie

Way to go Dodie- 30lbs is 30lbs. I havent sat in an airplane since oct and even then the seat belt was pretty snug. Hopefully next time it is better. Keep up the good work

Hi everyone. Weighed in this morning and stayed the same all week even though I ate less than a 1,000 calories a day (post op diet still). However never exercised and the scale outed me. LOL, my hubby lost 4 lbs last week and he wasn't dieting just trying not to eat in front of me.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
