I just wanted to offer some words of encouragement to all of you.

I've had my Band since 12 Nov 09. I have lost a total of 54 1/2 lbs including (mandatory diet and Pre-op). I have lost on average about 4-5 lbs a month. So, for the most part, I am textbook with the weight-loss. So, though the loss was not fast, it is still coming off and, I am very encouraged.

Well, I took my measurements back on 7 Dec 09. I'd completely forgotten about that. I hadn't really checked since then--other than measuring my waist periodically.

Shockingly, this is the results:

7 Dec 09 10 July 10

Bust 7 Dec: 47------------ 10 Jul:39

Waist 7 Dec: 48----------- 10 Jul: 35

Hips 7 Dec: 47------------ 10 Jul: 40

Neck 7 Dec:14 1/2--------- 10 Jul: 12

Thigh 26 22

Arms lost 2 inches

I know that this is long. But, hopefully it will motivate and encourage someone. Also, I have started jogging. Which has really helped too.

Thanks,

Brigette

Wow- you are the incredibly shrinking woman!

Measurements look great!

I wish I could get my brain to "believe" in measurements. HAHA

In my head the only thing that makes me happy is when the scale is moving!

Thanks Guys!!

Laura and vlp I have seen your success stories. Keep up the good work.

Nean youre Chicago, so am I. I feel what you are saying. I had to start believing in it because a few pounds a month wasn't much. lol I hope all is going well.

Who is your surgeon?

Hi Nean,

My surgeon was Dr. Myers from Day One Health. Had a really good experience with the clinic. I am trying to get down to 150 and have 18 more to go. I will likely change my goal number once I get there. Who was your surgeon?

Dr. Waktins in Oak Brook. Everything has been going pretty well so far. My goal is 150 but I still have a long way for that!
