HEY, just wanted to know how everybody were doing. we are over 110 days out of surgery. please share if the band is working for you.

I can't imagine life without it. I've only lost 29lbs from the surgery 40lbs total. But I feel Fabulous!!!!

Hello! I'm loving my Band!! I'll be offically 4 months post-op on Sunday the 13th. I've lost 37lbs as of this morning .. 2lbs away from Onederland! I haven't had any bad/negative experiences yet. Best wishes to everyone!

Happy New Year to all you July Bandsters.I hope all of you had a "semi" successful holiday season and didn't gain weight. I was able to hold my own without gaining. I have now lost 73 pounds and counting. I need to get back on track and start walking again as I know that is only way I loose weight. I did have a terrible incident last night - esophogeal spasms. It lasted almost 4 hours and I thought I was going to die. I drank Hot Tea and it made the esophegus go nuts. Called the doctor and he said 2 Benedryl and a heating pad. Sometime during the night, it stopped and today I just feel a bit yucky. Wow, the pain was something else - almost called 911 it was so bad. I am proud to say, I am 45 pounds from my goal weight but need to find the inner excitement and drive that I had in July. I really like all the smaller clothes I got for Christmas - size 14 pants instead of 20W. But I need to keep going and I need a boost to do so..I don't want to get my band tighter, I feel it is tight enough, I am the one breaking the rules (Cookies are slider foods, so is cake and sweet potatoes). I have purged the house and my office of the "evil" foods and now back in the saddle! I started this journey for ME and only ME can make it happen. Hey, thanks for listening and I hope all of my fellow July Bandsters are doing well and watching themselves skinny away ! Keep up the good work guys. FYI, it is COLD in Florida this AM 24 degrees at my house..Bring back the 80 we had on Sunday please !
