A year at goal!

Time flies when you are having fun! I got to my goal weight July 2006, had my Tummy Tuck August 2006, and here I am a year later!

I lost a bit more after getting to my goal weight of 140lbs / 63kg (I am down to 107lbs / 49kg).

The day I was banded, getting to "goal" seemed so very far away. But it feels like I was only banded yesterday.

Has it really been a year? :faint:

Thanks Ladies. I just realised this morning that is has been over a year! A year!

For 12 whole months, 365 days (a few more days, really, but who's counting?), I have been at goal.

It seems kinda insane that it has been that long already. Time really does fly.

Being at goal a year later is a powerful testimony to your commitment to making the band work for you! I hope I can say the same thing in a couple of years!!!

Thank you Tracey, Janice, and Gibson. It is sort of unreal that it has been a whole year since I got to goal.

It only took 17 months to get to goal, and I thought that time flew. But this year has just gone at such a rate. Really. I can't get over how long it has been already.

      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.
