HarleyNana 10 Posted December 6, 2008 I just hope and pray I have another four years with my best friend....my band, which has changed my life forever! :thumbup: The first picture was four years ago, the second was taken a few weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mica 0 Posted December 6, 2008 Congrats! I am about 10 months post op with a loss of about 50 #. I also view my band as a friend! My biggest fear right now is losing it! Stories such as yours are encouraging to me! I have had only one fill so far and am close to my goal. I am enjoying eating whatever I want (just not overeating) and living a "normal" life. I wish I had had it done 25 yrs ago! Here's to the next 4+++ years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyNana 10 Posted December 8, 2008 Thank you all so much, at my age, almost 60, I feel like an inspiration. I love the new me and I'm not only lovin life, I'm living it to the fullest. You can all do it. There are lots of people that have done a lot better than I have in a shorter amount of time, that's why it's so important to realize we're all individual and we lose at our own pace. Hugs to you all. Here's a picture of me a few days before surgery and then a couple of weeks ago, again, at my 40th anniversary party, like I said lovin life!

HarleyNana 10 Posted December 12, 2008 Lois, those two hot guys were my wonderful sons, the old bald headed geezer is my hubby. It was a surprise 40th anniversary party for me. It was a wonderful night, funny thing is, had I not lost the weight, I probably wouldn't have left the house. I love my band :wink2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
