Go you !!!!

I went through the same thing. But then I thought if I do nothing I'm At risk for some other health complications. So I can fight or just roll over and kill myself slowly.i decided to get banded and it had been the best decision I ever made regarding my health. I like that if god forbid it is reversible . My best friend compared it to show shopping ... If I didn't like it I can return it my surgeon has also been banded as well as people on his tr. they made me feel comfortable from my initial visit. Do your research ask your questions make an informed decision :)that's what I did and wish I did it at 28 not 38 but can't go back only forward. I find this site very helpful as I live this lifestyle I come here to read and see how others are doing but ultimately know the decisions to make this work is mind. The band is a great tool it has even changed how I think about food!! Its wonderful!!! Good luck on whatever u decide and we are here for u!

Great job ull be at350 in no time

Toot it loud !!!!

Amazing and you will get there

Meeting all you here Getting into my someday pants Going down 2-3 sizes Dancing the night away in heels and being able to spin n walk the next day Not being able to fit on a dress I was dying to wear because it's to big. Getting up off the floor easier( I work with infants to 1 graders I spend lots of time on the foor) Being just plain ole happy

Slow and steady does win the race if we are doing everything right it will click and it will come off. For me I have been overweight for 28 years I figure it's gonna take longer than a day to lose this excess weight so I just make the best choices I can. As far as the wise 10 yr old I guess he gets it from ur parenting skills. Kids learn what we teach them kids don't see the differences and brutally honest

I love to shop and can't resist a good sale. Well for years I have been buying clothes that I will fit in one day because it is such a good deal or I jus t loved them so much I had to buy them. Yes I know I have a shopping addiction. We can discuss my shopping issue at a later date lol. Anyway I am beaming from ear to ear because I just took 6 pairs of pants that I said I would fit in one day to the tailor to be fixed because they are to long and the day to wear them is now okay next saturday when I go back to tailor to get them. I am so excited I want to take a ad out int he new york times. My hard work with an amazing tool is finally paying off. Next week I drop off a 45 gallon contractor size garbage bag full of clothes to a friend since I missed the clothing exchange at NYU. I can't even lift the dam bag. Eating clean working out and this band has made a huge positive difference in my life. Yes I still have 95 pounds but i already lost 1/3 of the 150 i started out to lose. This forum is so helpful and is the only pace besides the drs office my weight is public knowledge. Not even my sister or best friend know how much I weigh!! Anywa back to my happy weight be gone new clothes dance....

i am 3 months post op and have been taking the biotin and using the nioxin. i do notice more hair in my drain after the shower but my hair doesnt look thinner thank god cause its thin to begin with so I am hoping it is working. my nails look great due to the biotin to. I was lucky enough to get the nioxin on a groupon and bought the max allowed. Like anything we dont know till we try.. and hey wigs are in these days anyway int he worse case scenerio

Great accomplishment and great start for u new healthier lifestyle giant high five.. keep up the good work ur stroingest tool is ur mind pli shment

I got an email that you can bring ur clothes to this hotel I assume they do it every few months and you can swap clothes they even have fitting rooms. And whatever doesn't get swapped gets donated to people in need I say win win I'm very interested in donating my clothes to others on this journey. I hope they have the exchange again snd I hope to give away the size I'm in now at that exchange. I have evening dresses and suits that must go because I'm never going back to that size again.

You go with those new leggings

Chose2behappy on my fitness pal

I gave been doing fine as well a few stuck episodes but I'm learning to figure out when my band is to tight... I try things three times before I put them in the don't eat list. I have been banded 3 months and no major issues other than getting to know the band. Best decision ever and seeing the results outweighs all the other stuff .. Good luck in ur journey
