feelin incredible, and finally enjoyin myself. tomoro will be 10 months to tha day, and from 340# in june to 190# in april. 150 lbs gone so far with probably another 15# to go.

current weight 199 lbs. finally broke that 200 lb mark. even tho its only 1 lb under...its under.

really enjoyin the decision i made to get lapband. it lifted that dark cloud off of me and opened my eyes to a better way of livin. each week i notice something new bout myself, or can do something i couldnt before. along with that extra lil pep in my step. and recently was put on my doctors website (www.drfrankfelts.com). still dont really know what to think bout that, but ill get used to it. so i guess im just gonna chill and enjoy the ride, and see what happens.

made it thru xmas, no problems. now i gotta start the new year with a positive attitude, and continue to try to live a healthy lifestyle. 6 months in, and down over 120 lbs. only thing to it is to do it.

surgery- 335

now- 212

goal- 185

since i was a kid, one of my nicknames was always Big Buck. i was always a bit heavier than most of the other guys. i never really noticed how big i had really gotten...HUGE. but i did this surgery 5 months ago and am down bout 110 lbs and have no intention of stopin till all the fat is gone. friends and fam be sayin "u dont need to loose it all". thats all fine and good if u aint never been fat. i want it all gone, never want to see it again. thanks to tha band, ive have completely changed my view on food. not only does it regulate the amount i take in, but it has mentally changed my life. im from texas and beef is a regular meal, but now i dont eat it unless it flies or swims, or grows in the ground. i work out regular, ive been gettin up before lite in the mornin and runnin. and i dont buy food unless the nutritional facts meet my requirements. its hard at first to not eat those things u luv, but give it awhile and ull see that tha food u luved was not luvin u back.

After fill number 3, im down 60 lbs since surgery and 85 lbs total. only about 35-40 lbs to go. startin weight 335, now 250.

my name is Buck and i started lookin into lapband when i got to 335 pounds. i lost 25 pounds on the pre-diet and went into surgery at 310. i had my 2nd fill today, and i wieghed in at 262. got a new tattoo started when i reached my 50 pound mark. i have followed the guidelines to the "T", and are reaping the benefits. to my amazement i enjoy eating healty, and now is second nature. i think as long as get ur workouts in and know that the band wont loose all the wieght for you, it can work effectively. atleast it is for me.
