Im Back

Well Here I am back to the support group. I dont know how many people are left from when I was here last. I was banded in 2005....thats a long time ago. It has been a whirl wind life since then, where I actually almost reached my goal. Granted that time in my life was prolly not the most healthy....but then a wonderous thing happened. I got pregnant with Haven. She brought so much into everyones lives, but also I allowed the pregnancy to bring along alll the weight I lost... well almost. I started this journey at 289 and I just weighed in tonight at 260. I have been bouncing around the idea of gastric bypass, but I am recommitting to this band before i deside on ANOTHER more radical surgical procedure. I have set a goal for myself..... 16 pounds by March 4th. Thats eight weeks....the weight loss goal is NOT unreasonable. I can do this.....Pop was such a supporter of this endevor...and hes not here any more. Doesnt mean his love and support dont carry on....WE CAN DO THIS~

    Good luck. It's nice to hear from people that have had their bands for such a long time.

    I w as banded in 2007 and met my goal of 100 Lbs lost I thought I did wonderful well that came to a end when my daughter told me she was preg. and that I needed to quit smoking so I did and gained 25 lbs. Just went for a fill the dr. didnt put much in hoping I lose the weight before summer went from a sz 20 to a 12 which was my goal and now I am back to a 16. here is a word of advice dont get rid of all of your fat close just put them in storage or you will be like me having to go out and buy them all over again I have learned my leason I will be putting the larger ones in storage and hopfully never to be in my house again.
