I wanted to send my congratulations to you. What a success story. I just got back from a small surgery (Upper GI Endoscopy). I had a band slip within the last two weeks, and was deflated Tuesday. I since gained 7 pounds. Still down about 60 lbs. Becasue of some other issues I had with the slip, they directed me to the GI Doctor who preformed the produre today. They found some other gastro issues, that could keep me unbannded for awhile. That said I was feeling discouraged, and came to the forum. I can always get motiviated here. Great tool. I Hadn't been here in months. I was looking for some inspiration and came across your success story, and realized everytihng takes work, and time. If I'm understanding correctly, you're down 125 lbs since 12/08. That's outstanding. Thanks for the pickup. I only have 35 lbs to goal.

Congratulations. Sounds like you are dropping about 10 pounds/month. I am hoping to do that. Just got banded last Monday, and had my follow-up today. I am down 20 since my pre-op visit Jan 12th. What have been the keys to your success? I'd like to finish off another 80 pounds?

Wow, that is cool. I get banded on 1-22. I told my boss, who is a runner, that I want to do a 5k this year. He is going to send a list of 5ks here in Colorado. My co-worker got wind of this, and she is going to join. I weighed in at 301 for my pre-op, so running just istn't comfortable on my knees right now. Any advice how I can train?
