carlyg 0 Posted October 17, 2008 Hi guys and gals! I'm from Adelaide, Australia and was banded at the beginning of 2008 and have not looked back since! I would recommend this in a heartbeat! Yes the transition has been huge and I've had days where I've sworn I will rip the band out myself but over all it has been the most amazing experience of my life! I started at 138kgs (303 pounds) and am now sitting on 94kgs (206 pounds) but more than the weight loss, I have gained so much confidence in myself and my relationships - it not only saved my life, it gave me my life! Now I only have approx 32kgs (70 pounds) to lose and I know I can do it... Always up for a chat to share experiences so please dont be shy - would love to hear from heaps of you! Peace and love*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted October 17, 2008 carlyg. you are my hero. Not only for the astounding weightloss, but because you have the stones to try ripping your own band out. Before trying that, you might want to bite down on a stout piece of leather, lol. Seriously, that is a fan-freaking-tastic weight loss! Way to go!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
