Started my pre-surgery diet in mid April 2010; banded 8/31/10, but had no restriction whatsoever for months; finally got a good fill 1/21/11 where I could finally only eat a small amount. As of today, 7/4/11, I have lost exactly 100.4 lbs.!!! Starting weight 322 and now I am 221.6. I exercised very little so the weight did not come off as fast as others, but I'll take it anyhow! I still have a long way to go, but am quite optimistic! I know I am still a big girl, but I feel great! Good luck to all of you out there with your journey!

Congrats girl! I may take you up on your offer. I was banded 6/17. I've lost 23lbs so far! But I'm sure I'll need a shoulder soon. Keep up the good work.

Awsome Diane happy for you.

Mazel tov!

2 thumbs up to you!!!! Way to go

80 POUNDS DOWN - 42 TO GO!

No fills so far!

Thank you!

Hey, you have not had a fill and lost all that weight?

Great job, really gives me hope My band is not where it should be yet and have been getting discouraged on a daily basis. I plan on making an appointment tomorrow to talk with my doc and hopefully get my 3rd fill soon. Crossing my fingers that this will be the one! I get married in 5 months and counting!!!

Don't get discouraged. You will get the right fill soon. Only a few get lucky and get just a couple fills and get that sweet spot. We are not in that "few".

You are going to be a beautiful bride!

Congtats!!! I am losing weight slowly also!!! It must feel great to lose 100 lbs, I have a friend that is on your same exact plan!!! She just hit the 100 lb. mark, but she just started exercising. I am trying to get motivated to exercise. That's the key but it is tough!!!

Good luck on your continued success!!

Congrats! I am hoping to reach the 100lb mark by the end of the year.. .

You did outstanding! Congrats!!

Congrats Diane! I just started my band journey this April and hope to be where you are by this time next year. Your story is very encouraging.

Thanks for letting us know about your path to success.

100 lbs is so fantastic! Congrats!
