It's been two months since banded I'm already down 30 lbs I thought it would come off faster but I'm thrilled with the results and beyond motivated ... I can see and feel the difference .. And am definitely happy with my choice after being told many times I was cheating by getting banded ... 60 more to go !!

Congratulations on your progress so far!

The people who told you that you were "cheating" by having surgery have no clue as to how hard we bandsters have to work to achieve our goals with weight loss!

Wishing you continued success with your journey!

Way to go !! 30 lbs in 2 months is great !Im down 37 lbs in 5 months but i consider that great progress. As far as people thinking you are "cheating", no body would consider it cheating if they had to wear glasses or contacts to be healthier and live a normal life , now would they ? Those items are "tools" too to help people to see, just like a lap band is made to help people to live a healthier life. So if you cant educate them, just ignore the misinformed and enjoy your progress towards a healthier you! It only gets better !

I'd rather cheat and live longer, than to continue sitting around making excusses why I can't breath when I go walking or up and down my stairs. I decided at this point in my life to live for me and not worry about what others think. So far I love my new life. 30# is awesome, keep up the good work.
