Congratulations Kenny!!! You are on the fast road to success!!!

I was in an 11 Wide width and now I fit in a regular 10!

Holy Cow!!!! Check out your stats people!!!! A lot of you are losing 4 pounds a week!!! THAT IS KICK ASS!!!

Aren't sizes so strange... Here I am in an 18M and I weigh 262 right now!!! I am 2" taller than you though. What a difference 2" makes...

Gurly - H 365/ S 329/ J 279/ G 199/ C 262 (-103 lbs total, -2 this week) Good Morning All!!! Easter is almost here... YAY!!!! I have to share something with you guys that happened last night that isn't at all related to the band... My daughter is 11 months old now and she is testing out the walking waters.... She will let go of my hands and stand for a few seconds on her own. This weekend she took 3 steps... well last night she figured out that she had this toy that she could walk behind and she was boogie-ing all over the place.... With this particular toy, you have to have really good balance and I just was bawling when she started doing that. She isn't a little baby anymore!!!! It was the MOST AWESOME thing that I have ever seen in my life.... I will post pictures when I download them. Happy Weight Loss to you guys!!!

Hi Pepsi! We were banded on the same day! You are doing great!

Hey Diane... I showed DH the pictures of you last night... he was just amazed at the change. He is rootin for you too!!! I wish I would have taken before pics in my bra and underwear. I am going to come look at these pictures everyday!!! So proud of you girl!

I Thought you meant real live goldfish that swim in a bowl when I first read this....

So... what does hubby think of this?

Just got a letter in the mail from UHC stating that Dr. Spivak is no longer in their network. But, I have out of network coverage, so I am good!

I have 2.2cc and losing 2-3 pounds a week. Everyone is different though.

All I can say is WOW Diane!!! I thought you were so pretty before... and now you are down right hot!!!! You just keep up the GREAT WORK!!

What size do you have to be to fit into Express Jeans? WAY to go!!!!

AWESOME!!!! Way to go girl!!!!! I will be there with you in 3 more pounds.... 70 is SO MUCH!!!! Doing a happy dance for ya!!!!:clap2:

Tickers Geared for Bandsters sounds great!!

WOW Jess!!!! Between you and Kellie... you two have convinced me to not be a baby and to get my boobs done and my tummy tuck. I know I will need it later. Your before boobs and mine now could be twins... or quads?? HEHEHE!!!! You look great girly!

Fish was on my Dr.'s Mushie stage. I consider it a mushie.

I am SO glad to hear you are home. I have been thinking about you!!! Can't wait to see the "new you"!!! Keep us posted!

Oh Kellie! I just love ya... you are so full of confidence and just doing what you want these days! YOU ROCK!

Not everyone will look good in a single digit. My sister is 6'2" and very large frame. If she was an 8, she would look sick! There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to be 10-12ish!!! That is very realistic for us that started at 26/28.

I know what you mean!!! When I buy something now I hold it up and think... well, maybe after I lose 30 more pounds it will fit.. and then it fits... like the jeans I put on today... I thought, no way am I getting my large booty in those. But I did and they fit, and they are cute! Yay size 18!!!

Right now you have no fill. You aren't expected to lose weight. With the proper fill, you are supposed to lose 1-2 pounds a week. That is the average and statistics... Like Vines said... some are rabbits and some are turtles tho.

Great thread, I love reading everyone's goals.... I secretly dream of a size 8, but with my frame and build I do not think that is realistic. I am currently shooting for a 12. I am in an 18 regular jeans now at 264 lbs. Started this at 329lbs and size 26W jeans!

Please keep us posted. I think I would have reacted the same way and demanded money back... if they couldn't do it for me. If you truly are that desperate... (it seems you are) Then go to their office and talk with them... like you said, apoligize and work something out. Good luck!

Boy, that is a common misconception with WLS!!! No one will fully understand it unless they have it done! Tell her What is EASY about being Morbidly Obese? What is easy about never getting to eat as much as your heart desires? There is no easy about it. It makes things easier for me.... but it isn't easier! I know that sound contradicting, but that is what I think. Good luck with that!
