ditto what weas123 said above. Only difference is I am 4 months out. It's great to have clothes hang on me now, ones that were too snug to even wear but were kept for "someday". Well that day is here! Woo Hoo.....

What a great post! Thanks for sharing.

For those of you reading this thread who are exploring lap band surgery, there are many of us now who are several years out, and loving banded living. There are also people who have struggled. I'm 4 years out and mainitaining a normal healthy weight for the first time in my life - and I have been maintaining for over 2 1/2 years. It can be really helpful to learn from others on this journey. I'm also happy to help. You can read about my story and experience by going to my blog (link is in my signature below). I hope you find it useful.
