Wow, that's great! Congrats!

congrats Jim!!

Jim, i have not been to this forum in a very long time... years, in fact. And what a GREAT surprise to see your success! You look and sound amazing! Way to go fellow banded friend. LOVE IT!!

Thank you.

I agree what is best for one person may not be what's best for another.

So true!

Very well put, Jim!!!

Disney World Debbie.

Thank you

I was going to say sweet but I guess I will say that is kewl , someday I may be able to save to make that happen I live close to Disneyland , that's why I asked , but I would love to go to Disneyworld.

someday

Holy Schnikes! Well done, sir, we are ALL inspired by your journey!! Have a blast with The Mouse!!!

Terrific what an amazing accomplishment

Faaantastic Jim!!

A SIZE 32 Nice I don't even know what size I am in that area , I guess I will try on a pair to see what I am , You are doing so great and I know in my mind as a woman , your Wife is loving you even more that you 2 can live your lives together much more longer .

me too ,, kinda getting old. I don't visit as often because of te negativity I had lapband and am happy

well any WLS can work and it can also fail...those are the risks...those who want EZ overnight, it will fail....i dont post here hardly for that very reason.....the band gave me mobility again..its a success...love you jim

Because a lot of people don't understand that you have to work with what e surgery they choose , none of it is a quick overnight fix, I know I have watched friends and Family members for yrs, before I decided on what I wanted .

Jim...... As one who started in the 300's, I can so appreciate where you came from and where you are now. I feel nothing but joy for you and pride of how you used this gift you gave to yourself. When I met with GoWalking and LisaCaren, we mentioned how you inspired us! Keep up whatever it is that you are doing, and again, "Congratulations!"

Thank you. That's very kind of you all. @debbie I will have to work on a new pic. Right now I shrinking out of my latest round of jeans. I cannot ever recall the time I was under 200 and in 34 jeans

Congrats to you…what an amazing job you have done! Nice!

That's good! I know you had a hard winter and I hope that at least its warm winds of change

Suddenly I see!!!

I know there is a song that almost goes like that and I love it.

You are doing Excellent...am so proud of you

hope you posted a 2 yr. pic, and yes again we look back but we love being able to move and not be tired all the time and to be able to do other things and getting or lives back , you are not dreaming , you are just making it happen.

Congrats, take good care of yourself

Were you in the green zone already?

lol

That's what I keep telling myself lol

On the other hand people ASK for the experience that others have. So it can be a positive thing.

Sharing an experience is one thing but down right telling someone they shouldn't do something because they will fail is just wrong even if it is based on their own experience. No two people are the same and the experience will vary.

I think sometimes people "read" more into what the person is posting than is there...but I agree...whatever you got, be HAPPY!!!

Build a band that goes around the brain and you've built a better mousetrap. Your earnings would dwarf Bill Gates' little nestegg.

Ditto CG and GW!!

Very very true!

True DAT!!..LOL

Yup!

100% true

Way to go!

That is so cool congrats so it took you how long to hit goal , and I forget when were you banded , hope to be like that someday in the near future myself and to be able to say the same words that you posted .

congrat's. disney world is on my bucket list. have fun

very true statement!

Hey stranger...Not seeing you on much or I am just not finding you. LOL

I will definetely take the advice, as i need to keep reminding myself this.

Wow, so happy for you! What a way to change your life.

WTG Jim!! Well done, and inspirational. As for your goal, discuss this with your physician to determine a healthy goal weight.

what's your new goal? Good job on your wl....

agreed....we be getting there

I agree....every day it looks more "familiar"...with a LOT more ads....

Glad to see , we our getting this new site, also I am glad to see u on here I like hearing from the people who have been on here that I have been missing, I thought I saw a updated pic of you , u look good from where we were before being banded .
