Hi everyone! I just wanted to share that Monday will mark 5 weeks of being banded and I have lost a total of 15 lbs! It's slow going, but I couldn't be more happier! I am finally on my way to a healthier life! I've already had to give away some of my clothes because they are too big :cool:. So, I just wanted to share :wink2:!

Wonderful for you! I am 19 days out from surgery and have lost 25 lbs. I found some clothes in my closet that I never wore because I bought them and then quit smoking so gained weight and they were too tight. Now they fit beautifully! My hairdresser noticed yesterday I've lost weight. Others are commenting they can see it! I just know I feel better. And I haven't taken my diabetes medication in over a week! My fasting blood sugars are within normal range! We are well on our way! If it seems slow going just remember the slow weight loss is usually the permanent weight loss!
