I just scheduled my lap band surgery for December 12th. Figured I would come and introduce myself to the forum!

I am Andrew Smith from Hillsdale, Michigan. I am a graduate of Western Michigan University with a BS in Geography. I am currently married to my wonderful wife, Laura, who has also had lap band done!

The ones of me sitting in the chair was last June 2011, The one in the Lions jersey is me on 10/2/12, Along with pictures of my Border Collie, Arthas, between then and now!

Way to go Andrew ! good job and keep up the hard work, it will all be worth it in the end, its good to hear you are getting your life back now

Hi Andrew,

You can do it ... Consistency in exercise ... I have dropped over 250 (still dropping) and my sister www.300poundsdown.com is almost 200 down so far w/ "30 Seconds to Victory"

Hope in Your Future is Power in Your Present!

Hi Andrew

I am 220 lbs lighter than I was when I was banded....it's a wonderful feeling! Congrats on your success!

Hey to you all! Thanks for the update, Andrew! And congrats to all you former "fatties" who have lost many more pounds than me. Wow! you are my heroes. I know that you all are very proud, tell us about some of your NSV's. Andrew already has because he has job working with kids that he would not have been able to do at 420. Give us more!!! Love to hear them! Best wishes to all. Karen
