I just wanted to share with someone, anyone really, that today is my 6 month Bandiversary. Go Me!

I was banded on May 4th, 2011.

I have lost around 77 pounds and I feel amazing.

I haven't had any fills yet and I will go in for my 6 month check up on 11/10/11, but I will most likely decline my fill at that point as well. The band is working for me exactly as I wanted it to because I am a bulk eater and not a grazer, so with the band, I can't eat non-stop like I used to, even with no fill.

I still have a long journey ahead of me, but I'm not really in a rush. The day I reached Twoderville was one of the best days I could remember because I have been over 300 pounds for more than a decade. Any weight lost from here on out is icing on the cake.

Anyway, since I haven't told anyone else, this is the one place I can share about these things, so I'm so glad this board is here. I have learned so much and gained so much support and advice from you guys. thanks for providing a place for people like me to come and share our experiences and stories. You guys rock.

I just got back from the doctor's office for my 6 month check up.

Official Doctor's scales put me at 79.8 pounds lost.

just 20.2 pounds away from 100.

Yay!!!!!

WOO HOO ! A BIG TIME CONGRATS on that one.......
