Well my one year band anniversary is coming up and I thought I would be down more weight but I'm not. I have not really been working at it in the last month. I'm back on track and I hope to have they last 35lbs off. I'm down 105lbs...you would think I would be happy about that but I'm not. I wanted to be down 120lbs in one year. I think I'm to hard on myself and need to back off some. it;s been a long hard year but I'm all most there. I NEVER know how addicted to food I was until I got the band!! Everyday is a struggle my addiction to food . My Dh is about to deploy for a year and in the past I had food to deal with stress and I don't want to go back to that.. How has everyone done in their 1st year?? How are you dealing with your food addiction ??

My 1 year goal is to take off 120's. I started at 272 and I'm at 172 right now. My weight loss has started to slwo down now that i'm getting closer to goal and they said this would happen.

Congrats on your twins !! I have twin girls:) they are 6 years old now I LOVE LOVE having twins.. I made it to 37weeks with my twins. I wish you the best of luck!! congrats again!! Gabby

Just curious as to how all of you have been doing since ur surgery in January? Are you happy about your band? I LOVE LOVE my band best thing I ever did for myself!! How do you love bandster life? I love it BUT i have found that some friend have changed now that I'm not the "fat" friend. anyone have this happen? How close are you to your goal? about 22lbs away Do you exercise everyday? NO and I should but I do get up and move around everyday. Do you PB alot? 1-2 a week when i eat to fast I have lost 94lbs I'm not moving no so I'm getting pissed off about it LOL guess I should start working out right LOL

I wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? I hit a 86lbs weight loss. I have had a hard time this months with keeping on track. I found myself just wanting to eat sweets sweets .. anyone have something like this going on? How do you deal with it. I'm trying to be good and keep on track. Gabby

I highly recommend Dr.Cywes. He has been nothing but spectacular since I was banded. I have nothing negative to say about him and the people at his office. They really care about you. Dr.Cywes and staff are really there for you when you need that boost of help. I think there are only a few people that touch your life and for me thats Dr.Cywes. I think the band is the tool but you need people that will help guide you on this journey. For my that has been been my family, Dr.Cywes and the GREAT people at his office. I got my band Jan 15th 09 and I have already lost 85lbs. V/R Gabby

HI My name is Gabby and i'm a mother of 5 year old twins girls:wub::rolleyes2:. I have been married to my dh for 12 1/2 years , he is AD Navy for the last 11years. I have just started journey to get the labband. I was so worried my PCP would say no , but she was very on board with it :thumbup: I have a sleep study 9-19 and my lap band seminar on 9-22, After that I will get my appt with the lap band surgeon. I worry he will say no or tricar will say no. My dh says I worry to much LOL we all need a hobby right. What all did Tricare make you do , was there a long wait to have it done. I know for GB they make you wait 6 months before you can have it done. I was going to have GB 1st and then my PCP she tricare was paying for lap band and she left lap band was better for me. I would love to hear everyone story. Gabby
