Kristin1031 0 Posted April 19, 2008 This is my new reality. I have gone from a size 28 that was too tight, in just a short 5 months to a size 14. I bought them last yesterday and I love them. I am so proud of myself. Although I have seen little to no scale movement in the past month I have seen my size go down 2 pant sizes so things are a changing. I am thrilled with my BAND and it is certainly my best friend. I still have no fill and will talk about this with my surgeon next month on the 13th when I see him for my 6 month check. What a great feeling it is!!` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelface 1 Posted April 19, 2008 Kristen1031, I'll be banded at the end of this month and am a little nervous about all of the pain and the changes I'll be making. How has it been for you? Did it take you long to adjust to your new life with the band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubyjade 2 Posted April 22, 2008 THAT'S MY GOAL TOO!!!! I am pretty much a size 16 now across the board but I am oh so close to squeezing in to my size 14 jeans!!! I figure another 10lbs and I'm there, hopefully to coincide with my trip back home to Australia in June!! Congrats to all of you who have come so far. You are truly inspirational!!!
