Congrats. I was banded on 9-1-11. This is a great site. I live in a very small town with no support groups so this site is great to have. Hope all goes well for you!

I fell like for me the more I went all over this site and the more I participated in it, the more i was "in the game" and focused on my band. Also I feel like a lot of the health professionals we are all interacting with dont really understand the band all that well, because they just dont actually have one!

Exactly what I'm looking for...thanks!

Gotcha! Getting the band was not an easy decision...got lots of "are you sures" from friends and family that I've told....so this will be an awesome tool to keep me "in the game" as you say...thanks!

      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?
