Let me count the ways it has changed my life:

First it has helped me lose nearly 50 lbs in 4 months. But it has done so much more than that...

Feeling better got me motivated to exercise.

Exercising alone got me thinking I wanted to have someone to exercise with so I posted an ad under activity partners on craigs list.

The ad resulted in a response which from the first email I knew was something special and has magically and wonderfully resulted in my meeting the man I have been waiting for all of my life. Two days ago asked me to marry him and 10 seconds after t hat I said yes. He is my soulmate and would not care a whit if I did not lose another pound but has been very supportive and just wants me to get to whatever weight makes me happy. What more can you ask for?

Now I just want to lose another 50 by March 19th of next year so I can look smoking hot in my white flapper dress!

So, yes, I LOVE my band - it has brought nothing but good things into my life. :lol:

Wow! That was an inspirational post. I'm don't love or hate my band. I'm disappointed in my band however, because I haven't lost anything in 4 months...and I'm still with my same old man :lol: My band must be defective, because yours is doing so much for you. LOL! Congrats on your success and your on your engagement. My next stop is Craigs List ; D

Joonbug, I am sorry to hear this...but I will say and many others will tell you, it does get better. Many of us had that "What the EFF did I do to myself?" moment and some of us still do. Everyone who knows about my band find it funny that I always comment...."Man, it's times like this that I wish I had my "big" stomach!" Honey, work with it, and your band will bring you all the possibilities you will allow it. Use your tool and allow yourself your healing time..before you make up your mind. :confused:

Congratulations!!!!! So great to hear good stories here!

I, too, love my band.

I've lost 62 pounds in 6 months.

I no longer have acid reflux and I look forward to going to my doctor in October and see if I can get off my blood pressure meds and my PCOS meds!

I can now sleep IN bed WITH my husband.

I no longer snore.

I feel like LIVING again.

Like a poster above said "I'm falling in love with myself" all over again.

I realize that I AM worthwhile and I'm so happy that I'm doing something FOR ME.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
