Congrats on joining us in our lapband journey's Patty. I see you got your surgery on July 25th. How are things since the big day? You've lost 40 lbs already!! I'm very happy for you. I appreciate your support and I totally agree. I never would go out and eat two chicken strips and 6 french fries before! This is really a great tool to help us all accomplish our goals. I am so happy I did this and I look forward to losing more weight over the next year. Good luck with your Journey and if you need any advice on anything let me know. I will try to help you out if I know the answers to your questions. Take care!

Congratulations!
One small piece of advice: Do not EVER compare yourself to others. Everyone loses at their own pace. All that matters is that you're losing, not how fast or slowly you're losing. How much anyone else has lost is completely irrelevant to your journey.

I was banded on July 5 an is down 36 lbs I'm soooo happy I still have a long way to go

You are doing great. I am 4 years out down 230 pounds.
