I was banded in 11/05 and i have only lost 75 pounds but i am not looking at that as a failure it is still a success! it is more than i have ever lost in my life and it has stayed off. did i want to lose more yes about 70 lbs more but if it is meant to be it will happen. please don't let yourself feel bad, take one day at a time and start small, even if you have something in the day you are not supposed to then just say ok that was my 1 goof of the day and continue on with the plan it will work if you just let it. good luck.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
