I was banded on the 16th of September. Surgery went great and I couldn't be happier. I had lost 15lbs leading up to surgery and have lost a total of 60lbs so far. I have been eating well and really exercising hard. I have lost 10 pants sizes and gone from a 4X shirt to an XL. I have my first fill on wednesday and I only have one question... Why did I wait until 36 years old to do this??????

If anyone out there is waiting or wondering if they should go for it, GO FOR IT!!!

I think the same thing everyday:)

That's awesome!!!! Good for you. I get banded on Nov 16th. I'm so excited and can't wait. What type of exercise are you doing?

Congrats! That is amazing - you should be so proud of yourself !

My exercise is pretty simple. I do one hundred sit ups when I wake up. I do one hundred sit ups when I go to bed. I do thirty minutes of cardio (either elliptical, bike or run/walk on treadmill). I do this routine everyday. I may have to get more aggressive when I get further down in weight but it is doing the job for now and i don't want to take anything on that i won't be able to do forever. I have treated the exercise like the menu, its not a diet ,its the new normal...

First fill today so here we go!

Good luck everyone!

Wow, excellent work! You are an inspiration to all of us :blushing:

Keep it up!!
