Well my friend, you are well on your way. I do have good news regarding my weight loss goals. I have lost 36 ponda since Jan/18/2008. I have my check up last week and things are looking real good. 2 weeks from now i'll go in to have my band filled with saline. Presently there is no Fluid in it. It'a wide open thus allowing me to be able to consume abit more food. Thus my new eating habits is still entacted. Happy trails my friend

I hope I can achieve close to your goal. I'm looking to lose about 130 pounds. Do you thing i can do it? I had the surgery 1/18/2008 in UVA in Virginia. I'm real inspired of what you have personally accomplished. I'm focused and determined to meet my goal. I have lost 25 pounds thusfar. 105 pounds to go... Keep me in your prayers and your words of encouragement would be nice. Take care and stay healthy. Marlon...

Well fellow banders i'm down by 25 pounds and on 2/14/2008 I go see my doctor for a check up and perhaps a filling as well. I'll follow with you guys later on the visit. What should I really expect?:thumbup:

Dear Nathan, certianly wanting to keep your weight down is commendable and healthy for you but not unless you have some serious health issues like high blood pressure, Diabetes and a BMI over 40 no doctor is going to recommend that procedure for you. Perhaps there are some other avenues you can embark upon that will yield the desired weight and looks. This is the bottom line. It's not fashionable but a life and death thing for many like myself.

You can make it if you try.... I got your back !!! Together we can pull it off...

Well baby sis, doctor Schirmer performed a lap band on me 12/18/2008 in UVA. I have my first follow up 2/14/2008 @10:00. Perhaps its to see how things are going and perhaps inflate the ring. I have lost 24 pounds since the 18th of January.That's good for me. I have another 102 pounds left to go.:smile: Hang in there baby gurl you are going to make it. Marlon L. email ml23093@yahoo.com
