Banded November 2005 ?

[josephine 1]

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to know anyone out there who was banded 1 year and a half ago like me and am wondering if :

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date

2. If you have had any obstacles

3. Do you still have your band

4. How much did you lose

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss?

Myself?

My surgery date was Nov. 10, 2005.

Weight was 251 and I am now 137, weight loss 114 lbs

I was a size 22 and am now a size 4-6

I made it to goal July 25, 2006

I never had any obstacles and I still have my band and I never had a fill during the whole weight loss process.

I will have maintained my weight for 1 year on July 25, 2007 and that day is coming by very quickly.

I am so happy that I did this and only wish I new about it sooner. It is the best thing that I ever did in my lifetime except marrying my husband who I love and adore.

I had a Tummy Tuck May 9th and a breast lift also and am doing very well. I am still quite swollen but that comes with the territory.

I wish everyone great success with their new and old journey. Life sure is wonderful.

Josephine

I must say, I'm not proud at all about my results. I know I can do so much better. I manipulate my band, drink while eating and don't eat Protein first. I'm coming back to this website to get support I'm lacking.

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date - Haven't made it to my goal weight....real far from it!

2. If you have had any obstacles - So many, manipulation!!!

3. Do you still have your band - yes, I pray one day I'll get it together

4. How much did you lose - 30 lbs

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss? yes

My mouth is wide open right now, as I was reading your post, my jaw dropped when I read you made it to goal by July 2006 - less than a year!
