Hi everyone...I'm Dee and I was banded 2/13/03 in Scottsbluff, Ne. To date I have lost 75lbs and am so glad that I was banded.

Our quality of life has definitely improved with the surgery. So much more energy, and can't wait to start taking hula lessons :laugh :laugh

We have 3 children - 1 a chef, 1 in college and 1 a senior in high school. I plan on being close to goal next May for graduations and our 25th anniversary.

I look forward in all of your stories and encouragement!

Dee

Dee you have done great good for you!!!

75 lbs since Feb...wow! All you newbies are making me feel like I was a really slow loser!!

But just being a big ole loser in the end is all the counts, right?

Welcome!

Dee,

Wow congrats and such a super weightloss!

I'm with ya on the Hula dancing lessons.

I want to learn how to belly dance

Keep it up and you will be at goal doing the hula before you know it!

Dee,

Congratulations on your great weight loss! Imagine how great it will feel next year when the 25th anniversary and graduation pictures get taken! I just got back from a family wedding and was so grateful for the 23 pounds I'd lost since the band. I wasn't hiding from the camera for once. Well, keep up the good work!
