It has been a little over year since I began my lap band surgery. As of today, I am down 53 lbs from a year ago. I was banded on 3/18/11 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My energy level has sky rocketed and I feel so much better about my life and myself.

Thanks so much for all your support through my (many) ups and downs!

Congratulations Rachael. Great to hear the good news.

I am a relative newbie to the lap band (banded on 8/12). But I agree. Finding this forum and the members here has been the best part of this process, and will be one of the most important factors to insuring my success.
