Just Me

:cool: Wow where do I start? I just need to let people know how the lapband has changed my life. I started 3 years ago weighing in at 350lbs. Now my weight is right at 200lbs. I still have about 40-50lbs to go. But I feel like even if I dont loose any more weight I have done something with the band that most people dont accomplish. I just want people to know that the lapband really does work. It just takes time. Yeah I know that it is not as fast as the gastric but I felt it was much safer for me. Just wanting to know if anyone else felt the same thing. :thumbup:

Your message is encouraging to me! I'm just starting my journey ... going through the pathway. I am 350 lbs and am looking forward to being exactly where you are right now. I would love it if the weight issue was gone tomorrow but then what experiences would I have gained to successfully maintain a lower weight? My sister had lapband surgery in January and is also an encouragement for me. Loosing slow - but steady. Couldn't ask for more than that!!
