I know how you are feeling.. I am struggling some.. BUT... I know for me.. is excerise... My surgeon is a super guy and wouldn't change anything I have doneor accomplished in the last 3 years. and he stresses... "you must keep up with your exercising" But again, I say I am stuggling and it is because I have gotten somewhat lazy! I have slacked off the exercising.. I joined Curves and LOVED it.. the bad thing is.. I didn't quit it.. it closed here in our little town. Is that an excuse? No, but Yes I have been trying to make it that!.. So I have promised myself now right before the holidays is not the time to try something new... But after they are over I am back at it!.. We have a full gym at my place of employment that is FREE for us to use so like I said... I have been trying to make Curves closing my excuse.. and it is a bad one. I have lost 75lbs and thrilled!!! But have not met my personal goal.. 50 more.. I do feel good but know I would feel much better when I start my exercising again! And get to my goal... I should say clothing size.. that is what I am working for.. everyone carries their weight different and I know if I can get around another 50lbs off I would be at that size.. So I say to you, be strong, do this for you, YOU can do it!!! I don't know you but am proud that you took this step for you!! You have really made a difference for me reading these posts made me think about me and I have to get back on track and do this for me!! That is why I started my journey and I have to stay on it for me.. no one else!! Goodluck!!

CONGRATS!!!! What a great story!!! I am so happy for you!! I have to agree, this was the best decsion I have also made!!! It is some work, but that is why I am happy with the Band... this is going to have to be life change... not a quick fix!!... I am 5 months into my journey, and am down 45 lbs!... couldn't be HAPPIER! My only regret is I didn't do it 2 years sooner!!!... I have a complete change in heart with myself... started my journey at 247 and my goal to be in one year is 155. I am 50 years old and feel like I am 30 again!!! Keep up your good work!!

Just checking to see if there are any other Bowling Green Ohio Lapbanders out there.... 13 more days!! I am so excited!!
