Hello..i was banded on april 18 2012 and went to the dr today. I received another fill Nd i am now at 8.15 cc in a 10cc band. my scars have healed very well..the only noticable one is where there port is. i got weighed in today and im doen 52.5 lbs! Very excited to be over that hump. I have 45 until my goal but that may change once i get close

Ok guys..only been 3 1/2 months but heres what i got down 48.5! [ATTACH]24552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24551[/ATTACH]

I have anthem bcbs and was approved with just bmi of 40. no cormobs...i was actually very healthy...just fat lol...they approved within a week

Yes...dont let anyone tell u different. I recently posted my profile pic to facebook. Some friends said i look great and one said she was worried and i look sick! people will always think u are losing too much..its just cause they never seen us thin..one girl jokes that i looked like a crackhead...she also struggles with weight..she laughed as if she was "kidding" but i was taken back...n i sti have 50lbs to lose!

So im at the pool laying out in the sun on my stomach...and my ribs hurt! lmao...i used to have some more cushion there before...

That is wonderful! congrats girl! thats an amazing loss

Whoooo hoooo!! awesome!

Thats awesome! congrats..must have felt great!

Yes...i always measure my food at home and never really eat out...to see that i actually used to be able to eat that whole salad with all that dressing and wonder why i wasnt loosing weight pre band! To be honest..realizing that actually grossed me out!

So i dont know about you guys...but im three months out and just realized how little i actually eat...me and a friend just bought a chicken ceaser salad..dressing on side...from a deli that we used to eat at all the time...we bought one salad and split it (if thats what u call it...theres still ALOT left over)...anyways..to think we used to eat a whole salad each with two of those little cups of dressing! i love my band!

I started in april 2012 in a tight 18...i am now wearing a 14 and fit into a 12 but they are still a little to tight...first goal is to be a single digit! then go from there.

Thats awesome!! great job

I had 6cc put in during surgery and i was able to get my first fill 6weeks after surgery

Congrats! Isnt it crazy to be happy about a word lol

Thanks everyone..i never thought it would be possible but it is!! keep on going all
