Hi! Are there any people out there from 2 years ago? I'd love to find you all if you are around. It will be 2 years for me next month. I have 8.25 in my 10cc band and I LOVE my band. My weight loss has been very slow, but it has been sure and I am so much better off than I was. I'd love to hear from some of you!

My 2 year bandiversary was yesterday, Oct.30,2009. Congrats on yours. Karen

It will be two years for me at the end of november. I hoped to be at goal by then of 170-180 but I think I've done great. I'm fitting into 14-16 jeans depending on who made them. I'm 5'5 weigh 188 at the moment hasn't seemed to budge for a good while. I have 10 cc band with 6 in it just got a fill with 1 1/2 cc and am so tight I might have a tad taken out very soon. 5 1/2 cc would have done the trick. I'm loving my band would be lost without it. In the process of trying to get approved for a hernia repair with me paying for the muscle repair and tummy tuck. My insurance is really stressing me out. They don't want to pay for the hernia if its performed at same time as rest. My dr thinks its safer for me to just have one surgery rather than two. so may just get the hernia repaired and forget the rest. But I am going to appeal one time before giving up. i'm tired of being in pain from the hernia so if they don't give in i will.

It looks like u r doing great yourself. My weightloss was very slow too so don't be down on yourself. At least we have lost is the way i look at it. Do u have much hanging skin? Does the feeling of fat ever go away I wonder. Cause although i have lost alot i still feel so fat.

cONGRATS ON YOUR TWO YEARS!

I will be 2 years in December and still loving my band. I am pretty happy where I am as far as weight, but would love to lose another 10lbs. I have a lot of excess skin that will hopefully be taken care of next year. I still exercise about 4 days a week and eat what I want, just not as much. However, I think the maintaining stage is more difficult than the losing stage.

Congrats on your two years!!

Oh God ya I still feel sooo fat. When I look at myself in the mirror I see that I am better when I have clothes on but still not great. When I am naked watch out because I feel like I still weigh 300 pounds. I dont think that feeling will ever go away, all I can do is try to stay positive and NOT eat an more Halloween candy!
