Hi there everyone, I haven't posted in ages, but have been reading and learning. Things were going really well with my weight loss, I was down 80 lbs at the end of July. And then...I found out that I am pregnant and due in March! So, a little bit of a detour for a while, not focusing on weight loss any more, just trying to be healthy. But, after the baby is here, I do plan to re-start this journey. Take care everyone, I will be checking in for some motivation in a few months! Anne

Hi everyone! Haven't posted in a while...have been busy. Everyone is doing so well, such an inspiration! Please update my weight to: 249 That's 80 lbs gone, yay! Thanks for keeping this spread sheet going, Sistasassy! Anne

My goodness, what an eventful time you have been having. I am glad to hear that you recognized the signs of being overfull, and got an unfill (defill? What is the correct word anyway :devil: I have been overfilled as well...totally not pleasant. I hope the next little while goes smoothly. Take care, Anne

This sounds like a great goal! Keep up the motivational posts!

Hi everyone...haven't posted in a while. I am inspired by how well everyone is doing! My current weight is 264. Thanks for updating this! Anne

Glad to hear you are doing so well! I hope the next few weeks go smoothly too! Does this mean you are missing the heartworm season craziness at work (or do you have heartworm season stuff where you live?). Take care, Anne

Hi sistasassy! Your puppies are SOOO CUTE! I bet they are so much fun right now! Thanks for updating! My current weight is 280. Anne

Hi sistasassy! Thanks for doing this chart! I love to see the updates! My current weight is 284. Anne

Hi cowpoke Lucy! Welcome to the site! I was banded at the SWLC Nov 7/08. I have been VERY happy with my experience at the clinic, and since then. Dr. Cobourn personally called the morning after surgery to see how I was doing...a very nice thing to do, I thought, especially since my surgery was Friday so it was a Saturday morning! The nurses have been helpful, answered questions on the phone or via email quickly. I have had to call the surgeon once after hours, and the call was quickly returned. Although I do not have the long-term experience that others do, I am pleased to see that the service they provide seems to be consistent over the years, even as the clinic grows in size. If you have any other questions, feel free to message me privately. Take care, and good luck on your journey! Anne PS can't figure out the ticker thingy but highest weight/pre-op diet weight: 329 surgery weight 304 current weight 289 goal weight 180

Hi sistasassy, I saw from your other post that the 2nd fill has really helped you! That is so great...my 2nd fill is tomorrow, hoping it will be OK for me too! My current weight is 289. Thanks for doing this! Anne

Hi everybody! Weekly weigh-in time... As of this morning, my weight is: 294 Thanks for updating the spreadsheet Froggi! Hope your recovery is going well! Anne

Hi Froggi, Thank you for keeping track of this for all of us...so encouraging! I hope you are feeling better every day and that your GI stuff settles down! If you are updating the spreadsheet, do you mind correcting one thing for me? My pre-op diet starting weight was 329 (same as my highest weight), and my surgery day weight was 304 (I think my spot for pre-op diet starting weight is blank). Also, my current weight is: 299 (YAY!!!!!!). Thanks again! Anne

Hi Froggi, I realized that I forgot to say *when* my surgery was in November (seriously challenged, I tell ya). My surgery was November 7th. Thanks for keeping all this info in 1 place! Anne
