3 years, 145 pounds for a total weight loss percentage of 45. My goal is 162 and 50% (I want to be half the woman I was!) Not for 1 moment have I ever regretted doing this!

Banded on July 15 2010...so i'm a few days short of 1 year...lost 62 pounds as of this morning. Did not have restriction until July 1 2011...yes thats right 15 days sort of my one year bandaversary! I'm now at a 6.5 fill - had a MAJOR stuck incident yesterday for the 1st time lasted 3 hours on a tiny peice of salmon skin. Yesterday i was questioning my decision. Today i woke up weighed myself and took a good look at my new body in the mirror and i now realize how far i have come and would not want to change my decision to have the band. I guess i had a moment!

banded 2 years, 4 months. Down 200lbs. Only 17lbs away from a normal BMI (which is NOT my goal, but thought I'd mention it for those who live & breathe by the BMI ..LOL).

Currently in the "considering plastic surgery, thinking about going for a consult" stage. Some, but not all, of those 17lbs would come off with plastics.

Yes, I'd do it again. No regrets whatsoever. Even waiting as long as I did to get banded I think was the right thing. I had to wait till I was physically, emotionally and mentally ready.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
