Hello all!

I am so glad to have come across this thread! I definitely have 200+ to lose. I am well on my way, was banded on 11/30 and have already lost 36 pounds. I have had 3 fills and go for my 4th tomorrow. I started working out with a personal trainer last week. Life already seems so much brighter. Looking forward to supporting each other on this site!!!

Welcome to the site, please keep us posted on your progress.

I'll give you ONE tip, when you hit your first setback (not being prophetic, it happens to nearly all of us who have been banded)

Please come back here and seek support, that is what this site is BEST at...security in knowing we've all been through it, and will help you along as well :-)

OH...me personally, I'm still losing. NOT a know it all by any means, I'm in the minority (I weighed over 500lbs) when I started..my Dr. wanted me to do the gastric bypass due to a higher success rate, and less chances at "cheating"

I convinced him the lapband system could work for me, because I'd stay committed.

18 months later I'm down 196 lbs....I work at it every week, but perhaps not every day

There are weak moments, just stay on track!

Be Good!
