It was my face. But my lower half went away faster than my upper body. I would love to lose a couple bra sizes! Anyway most people did not know I was banded until much later so when people started saying I looked much younger and my face was thinner I really started knowing I was losing. My weight came off a couple pounds at a time in my journey. It was pretty slow and I was discouraged while it happened until I was reminded that slow loss is better for me. It was a promise I made to myself at surgery, "not buying any new clothes until I can shop somewhere besides Lane Bryant" that kept me going. I was a size 22 or 24 before surgery and I was really surprised that even thought the pounds where slow the flab was quicker. I walked into a Macy's about 5 months after surgery and bought some size 16 pants. Never went back to Lane Bryant's.

I am too. I have had my band for about two and a half years. I dropped 50 lbs pretty easily and then I plateaued, but I was happy where I was so I just fell off the band wagon. Now the weight is creeping up, and since my last fill (Maybe it was December? I have had a lot more food getting stuck. Some days I will get stuck twice. I am doing everything wrong and to boot I am under some extra stress so I am snacking on chocolates and chips. All stuff that does not get stuck. Started up with the doctor again and have appointment to have a podiatrist do something with a problem in my foot which makes all exercise difficult. Also came back here after long time away. So maybe we can all get back on track.
