I can't believe it's almost been a year on September 24th that I started this journey. Time has gone by fast and though it's been a sometimes rocky road for this adventure I can say that I have succeeded in my goal that I started and actually losing more than I set off to lose.

I have had some bad experiences but nothing that wasn't taken care of and I'm still learning what I can do and not. I'm sure this will be an ongoing learning.

For all the newbies, just hang in there and don't be afraid to ask questions if you need and this site will give you lots of information for people who have been through what your going through.

Congratulations on your success!

Great Job on what you have done in a year!!

Congratulations on your success! I'm almost 6 months out and I agree - it was the best decision I've ever made.

I had my surgery on Aug 27th. Do you have only 4 pounds to lose total? Are you leaving the band in? Do you still have issues eating certain food? How do you stop losing?

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!
