I was banded 10/15/10 so almost 5 months ago. Not only am I 65 lbs down but I am no longer insulin resistant and am off medication for it and high blood pressure!!! I have been insulin resistant for about 10 years and never thought it would just go away! My monthly cycle is normal now and I am completely healthy!!! This was my major goal getting banded. I didnt think it would happen so fast but Im so excited. I just had to share with my bandster family!!

Thats great!! You have worked hard!

That's wonderful. Congrats. I'm looking forward to saying good bye to my high blood pressure RX. That has to be an awesome feeling.

Congratulations!

That is awesome! Congratulations. I'm halfway to my goal in 6 months.

Congrats that is amazing! I'm almost one month post op and I love hearing stories like this.....reminds me I can do this! : )

That is awesome!! I was banded on 3/10. Itoo hope my progression goes as quickly and smoothly as yours did. Great job!

I am happy for you....Congrats!!!!

That's great!! Congrats!!

Thanks everyone. It has been one of the greatest moments in my life when the Dr told me everything was normal again after like 10 years!!! We can do this, be healthy and look great. I am by no means close to my weight goal but have already surpassed my life goal. It happens for those of you who are on med. Maybe you will never be completely off just because of genetics, but if its just because of weight like mine.... it will happen!!

Great job!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Keep up the great work

That is great news. You are an inspiration.. that lets me know it can be done.. Keep up the good work!
