My band works!



Recommended Posts

so i'm down 40+ lbs since i started with pre op, which is about 30 since having the band..

seeing the scale say 240-anything...just blew me away, its been since early 2007 the last time i saw that number.

now when i was going up i thought i was going to cry at 248....but gosh on the way back down 248 never looked so good!

i tried over and over to lose weight (story of our lives) and a few times before i had lap band surgery i got to 250.0 and could never break into the 240's

249.8 was just the magic number for me, to let me know that my band is making a difference, and OH MY i did it, (ok me and the band did it)

just had to share, i'm so excited!!! i feel like if i can get to the 240's (which i tried sooooooooooo hard to do this year and couldn't) then there is NO reason that i can't meet goal...i don't think i've been this excited since the day i scheduled my surgery!

thanks for listening

good luck to all!

Sasha~ I am right there with you! I wanted to shout from the rooftop last week when I saw 249. I honestly have no idea when I weighed this last?

Maybe back in 2001 when I got married? I had some short lived weight loss due to stress and IBS....but after the ceremony it returned and then some (as usual).

Have you been measuring as well?? I love seeing the inches go down, down, down!!

      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.
