major success with the band!!!!

SOOOOO today i saw a client of mine (who i havent seen in a while) who had the band put on last may... and i swwwweaaar i had to do a tripple take she lost so much weight (maybe like 70+ lbs). I was in shock! I was so happy to see her bc it just confirmed my notion that thiiis thing reaally works.

I mean i know the band works...but sometimes i get so discouraged reading on these sights about how people have a hard time loosing the weight and/or are having problems...

i was sooo happy all day i was beaming ear to ear. I just know this was the best thing i could have ever done for myself health wise and not to mention it gives me hope to be able to sqqqquuuuueeeeezze into a bridesmaid dress in september!

* randddddom side note- i was so pissed when i bought the dress in the first place being plus size and all- finding out they only made the dress UP TO a size 16! i mean what the heck is that all about? If i wasnt planning on having the surgery or loosing the weight somehow i probably wouldnt have even been able to be in my friends wedding. I was soooo pissed about that and still am!

It's good to hear the success stories. I hope to be banded in April and am concerned that I my be a turtle. You've done well with your 23 lb weight loss. When were you banded? Stay focused and keep up the good work, you'll have to have that dress made smaller in no time.
