50for50

Not to worry - we all get there at different points. I just had my 9th fill - under fluoroscope this time! What an amazing difference! For 10 months I've lost fairly steadily but never "felt" my band. Now after 3-5 bites I get a feeling in my chest that says YOU ARE DONE! Assuming some of it is still swelling, but I think this May be green for me. Still adjusting to this new feeling!

I love my flex! Have had it since June. It is an awesome reminder everyday to get moving. A friend has the jawbone but I'm unfamiliar the differences, sorry.

Great job! You look amazing!

Hello all! Checking in also. Down 51 lbs to date and really enjoying summer clothes so much more than last year at this time! Struggling a bit with all the summer parties/occasions and my love of wine... Working hard every day.

Love my flex! Went to the gym like normal but my flex motivated me to go walk around the mall later today to meet my step goal!

51 lbs down today in just short of 5 months. When I joined LBT the night prior to my surgery, I picked my screen name based on the fact I'd have thought this journey a success if I just lost 50 lbs. Now I have done that and also hit ONEDERLAND! Thanks so much for the support from those before me - I hope to pay it forward for others. Life is good with the band...

Love my fit it flex! It's new - an wrist band. Tells you steps, calories burned, sleep patterns and a whole lot of information.

Just got it 2 was ago - back ordered for wks. Love it! Super easy to use and automatically synce with My Fitness Pal. Email every week about your stats too. I find myself wanting to be more active to "please" it!

May be too late, but Aetna denied me twice also. My doctor requested a "peer to peer" review. Before the date of this review, Aetna reversed their decision inexplicably. Could be worth looking into.

Surgery at JFK in Edison. How about yours?

Welcome! I'm from NJ also - Middlesex County. You will do fine - this forum is a great resource. I'm 4 months along and down 48 lbs, just feel like I'm getting into the swing of it all.

Great job - you WILL get there!

It's small but its there - between my thighs! So happy with my band!

Check out mybodygallery.com - someone here suggested I once as a useful,sight for determining your goal weight, but it also helps me get perspective on my new size!

None required for me. My Dr, who spent a lot of time with me in the 10 months I saw him prior to surgery, told me he doesn't require it of patients that he feels can be compliant with the diet following surgery
