Woot Woot! Just wanted to share my victory -- I NEVER thought I would ever weigh less than 200 pounds (I weighed 200 pounds in high school)!! I am 196 as of this morning -- what a blessing the lap band has been.

It is not always easy, but it is totally worth it. It changed my life. I started at 270 pounds 10 months ago, I was on all kinds of medicine and diabetic -- seriously insulin resistant (requiring insulin injections 3 times a day) but last week my doctor took me off ALL OF MY diabetes medicine! I was a size 24/26 and now I am a 14!

75 pounds down and counting...

I love these type of posts!

Looking at your history, it appears you and I are on the same track, from starting weight to the reversed diabetes, to the weight loss.

Congratulations! It is plenty to keep you motivated. I have said many times that it just keeps getting better and better!!!

I remember the feeling that I could never be below 200, and that in itself would be a dream!

NOW it is but a distant memory and I am starting to consistently weigh in below 190.

To all the Newbies out there.....PATIENCE!! Don't get hung up over how much weight you may or may not be loosing 2 weeks after surgery!

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN YET!

Congratulations!!!!! Yours was the first post I read this early morning, and it was inspiring!!!!

Congratulations for reaching that goal. It is amazing when the scale starts with a 1, instead of a 2. You are doing great. Keep on and you will succeed. Karen

Congrats....I was so hoping to be there this morning, but still one more pound to go! I can not wait to have the same feeling you do!

I, too, congratulate you and wish you continued success on your journey. Thanks for posting!!
