Calling all august 2008 bandsters!!!

[MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH 0]

Just wanting to know how my fellow august 08 bandsters are doing? As for myself, just a little update.

I was banded on the 18th of august.

On the day of surgery:

weight: 267

pants size: 26

shirt size: 4XL

bra size: 44DDD

As of today (June 4th):

weight: 185

pants size: 16

shirt size: XL put can squeeze into a large depending on what kind of shirt.

bra size: 38D

I have had a hard journey but all the tears and pain have been well worth it. I am hoping to be at 175 by my birthday which is 1 month and 13 days. I think I can make it with a little exta work, but if I don't make it, I will be darn close to that mark.

I hope everyone else has had as much success as I have or even more success than myself. Reply back and let me know.

You are doing great Stacy! Congratulations! I'm very happy with my band too - started at 304 on 8/4/08 and am down to 227 now. I just bought a size 16 dress - was in a 26 before surgery! I'm about halfway to goal, and have never lost this much before. I actually can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You ought to come join us in the August 08 All Stars official forum down in the Monthly Lap-Band Support Groups section. I think this link will take you there. August 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum We've got a great, supportive group of bandsters there!

I was banded Aug. 4 and though I have not lost near what you two have, I am still doing really well for me. I have lost 45.2 pounds and two sizes. I know it doesn't sound like much to some folks but to someone like me who couldn't lose weight before, it is AMAZING! I love my band! :biggrin:

45..2 pounds is really good. We all loose at different rates, theres ppl out there that has had it done after me, and have lost more than I have. Loosing at different rates is the reason I don't compare my weight loss to the weight loss of others. I have before and the only place it got me was depressed. Keep up the good work girl!!!

I am extremely happy with my band. I still mourn food here and there but wouldnt trade this for anything. I just started exercising this week so I cant complain that I lost this much without even working out...but I am now dedicated to working out so that I can get to my goal of 180...so half down half to go....:bored:
