Hey folks it's been awhile! I had a band revision surgery on the 5th so I am in liquid hell again. had a slip not resolved by unfilling. Feeling good not as sore since the port didn't have to be fixed. Looking forward to getting back on the "band" wagon. Have lost 8 of the 13 I put back on since I was de flated. Still down 92 lbs so I can't complain!!

Hey everyone been a while down almost 100 can't quite get there and stay though. More later..

ASAP! I had to eat like I aleady had the band which was 1/2 of what i would normally eat. No fast food. It is so tempting to do the farewell to food tour as Dr. Choban called it. You want to get in everything bad you might miss with the band. Good Luck!

Haven't posted in FOREVER!! Finally made it to onederland slow but sure! Down 98lbs and feeling great. I have lots of reflux issues which led to an unfill and upper Gi. Nexium is my friend. Post more later just wanted to check in.

Congrats Niki so proud of you!!!

Hi all haven't been around here much lately. Busy with the kids and such. Anyway doing really well tryingto get to that magic 100lb mark ( Only 8 more to go!) Started trying to walk or run everyday...yes I said run not sure what's gottten into me but I got the urge to RUN!! Imagine that never ran a day in my life that something wasn't chasing me lol! Anyway loving my new life and hoping to get to that goal!!

Hey all glad to hear everyone is doing so well!! Kathy I wish I'd have known about the meeting woith Dr. Choban that would have been a good one. do you know when the next one is and what the topic is? I am feeling great and don't want to lose my momentum. I think it helps to get a "support boost" every now and again and I think I'm up for one. Keep up the good work everyone!!

Great Job Niki! Today is my bandiversary and I am down 75. Not bad for a 5 month plateau!!! Wish it was as much as you but I am thrilled with my accomplishment. Never thought I'd be here a year ago!!

Thanks SPK for the reply. I am better these last 2 days. I am thrilled hitting the 75lb mark!! I moved my appt. up a couple of weeks to see if everything is okeydokey. I am totally excited though wearing a size 16 now yeah!

Hi again guys! I seem to have tightened up all of a sudden again like I did this summer. I haven't had a fill for about 3months and only got.25cc then. Last three days can't eat much solid. I have been doing ok with liquids and musshies as long as I go real slow. Does this happen to anyone else? I really don't want to get unfilled but I am in pain when I eat solid food. what gives? I have lost rapidly but not sure if I'm willing to keep this up for the sake of a better number on the scale. I am down to 224 though woo hoo. Sarah

I am now 11 months into this journey and am now down 65 lbs. yeah!!! I haven't had a fill for over 2 months and finally getting good restriction most of the time. I'm exercising reguarly and I fell great. I would have liked to hit 80lbs. gone by my year mark but I'm trying for 70 now. I had a standstill for about 5moths after having to get unfilled. I finally feel like I'm at he the right place. I'm wearing a size 16 pant and 1x top down from a 22 pant and 3x top.

Great tos ee some familiar names on the site. Thanks Specual K for the encouragement. you know if I never lose another pound(which is not going to happen) I feel like a new woman and have so much more energy. My family can't believe how much I do! So even with my slow progress it is progress and I am so happy I had this done!

Hello all haven't been here for awhile. I'm doing great but not as fast losing as most of you. Just getting back on track after my 4 month stagnation. Feeling gret and hoping to hit 80 lbs by my bandiversary on Feb. 20. I do love my band as tempremenatl as she can be!! Love to see all of these success stories congrats Greg on 90lbs! I believe you had yours after me. I'm going to try to stay more involved and get my "groove" back.

Sorry i missed you all last Saturday i definitely want to make it to the next one. wish i wasn't so darn busy!!
