Do I still enjoy food?

Yes, I think more now than pre-band. I eat slowly and actually taste my food. I'm not sure that I did previously.

What does it feel like to be lighter?

I am almost 50lbs lighter. It is amazing to be riding in the car and look down to see my lap. I can tie my shoes without holding my breath. I can run without passing out. I have gone through every size in my closet and have had to replace 3/4's of my wardrobe. I love to put my hands on my waist and actually feel a waist. I can travel by plane without "oozing" into the other seats. I have tons more energy. My skin looks better. My sex life has improved. I get compliments from family and co-workers - even my 16 yr old son is proud of my weight loss. What I have gotten from this band is so much more than just weight loss. It is hard to put into words. I am sure that it is different for everyone.

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.
