Thanks Janet! I love this site! Reading all the info and personal experiences on this site helped me in making my final decision to have the lap band. It's nice to have people to chat with that have been or are going through the same things.

Well Crystal - look at me - 65.5 in 6 months and I could be your Mom (my son will be 37 in July) - You have the benefit of youth in your favor - so go for it - it's work - but the rewards sure out weigh the sacrifices....

Well look like i got 70 pounds to go.

Had my fill already and I got a so so restriction right now. I'm hoping to be down atleast 30pounds by May-July time, intime for cruise or/and family gathering. I'm sure I will shock them now but I rather be alot smaller :rolleyes2:

I just recently started posting here on LBT, but technically I started in the 100+ category. I'm happy to be down in the 50-100's 7 more lbs. and I can "graduate" to the next level!

I am 4' 11" and weigh 195, and I'm 48 yrs old. My goal is 115, wonder how long that'll take.

I've lost 88.5 in 9 months - 5'4 250 age 54

How fast or slow you lose is up to you - and also your body - but it's all about what you eat and how much you exercise

Hi im new on this. Im being banded on 1st aug this yr. I was just wondering do you set ur own goal weights, like what u feel u would be happy with or are they set at a healthy bmi for you. I think i would be very happy with 4 stone/ 54lbs, but to be healty bmi id say id need to lose 6stone / 84lbs??

Edel - I set my own goal - originally 170 - then moved it to 160 - now I am 150 - 145 will give me a normal bmi - I am striving for that # - but it's really up to you -

At first I never thought 170 was attainable - then never thought 160 was - but I now know that it is ...

IMHO - I would really strive for the healthy bmi - it's doable... but it's really up to you...
