I had my surgery on New Year's Eve 2009. I have lost an average of a pound a week for the last two years. I am down 115 pounds as I begin 2012. I have a little more to go and I am continuing to follow my doctor's insttructions. I have enojoyed some carbs over the holidays and I know how to make this work for me.

This is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I am very satisfied with the avenues that have opened for me because of my lap band surgery. Color me THRILLED!

Well done on the sustained weight loss over 2 yrs , that really is a great achievement .

I too had a great christmas, i allowed myself to eat some christmas treats but made sure i burned them off with exercise and happily did not put on any weight over christmas at all, which was my plan. Last christmas i was on pre-op of just 600 calories a day and that was hard work but all that hard work paid off and this year i was able to enjoy myself ..

keep up the good work !
