I am really starting to see NSV (Non scale victories) and was wondering some of the others greatest and what I have to look forward too!!!

My first and the one I am most thankful for, I was banded on 3/28/11 and on 4/49/11 I was the driver of a roll over accident and I survived and my band is FINE!!!! I was wearing my seatbelt which can save your life as we all know but can also cause the band to slip but thank God, I am alive and the band is great I had my first fill on 4/12/11.

At 35 pounds off so far, my size 18 pants are falling off

my shoes are loose

I can get my rings back on

scrubs used to be 1x now LARGE

trouser socks used to be tight around my calf now they feel fine

can fit into booths without stuffing!!!!

my hubby can hug me, normally (sniff, sniff)

I know there are more and there will be more I cannot wait I love this journey and I am so glad I did it!!!! For those that are getting discouraged, I hope this board offers you support!!!

Peace, Joleen

This probably won't be my greatest, but it's my first! 7 days post-op and I put on a t-shirt I bought in March. When I bought it, it was tight. Today...it's LOOSE! Doing the happy dance!
