Hi Everyone-

It has been on my mind lately to start a new post as a positive, motivational, and inspiring thread. I have noticed several threads lately where those considering surgery are asking if it is 'possible' to lose 100 pounds with the band. My answer to that is...Yes, it definitely is. Many say it is not realistic. But I have watched the amazing progress of LBT members on the board, and believe it is not only realistic, it is happening to many of our LBT members all around us. And for those that aren't quite there yet, many members are extremely close. As time goes by with lapband increasing in popularity and the number of LBT members growing everyday, I believe the list is only going to increase by leaps and bounds.

Any and all weight loss is a huge accomplishment for us all. While I realize that many members don't need to lose 100 pounds or more, many do. And for those who do, it offers not only motivation to see that other bandsters have done it...but most importantly it offers the hope that it can be done with the band!

This will be a running thread to offer positive motivation, inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Please PM me or post here to have your name added to the growing list when you hit 100 pounds lost, or if you want your amount lost updated. Congratulations to everyone on any and all weight loss!

121 Members of the LBT 100 Pound Club and Growing!!!

(or I should say shrinking )

I was banded on June 10th 2010, I have lost 104 lbs!! My best advice to any who feel like their band isn't working or your not losing fast enough...don't give up. I took me almost 2 yrs. The weight comes off slowly, but it's a much healthier way to lose. I would do it again in a second!

Hello everyone I haven't been able to find anyone that is at my weight that are having the lapband done if you have any information please let me know. I am 5ft 4in my starting weight 207.5 now after the 2 week shake diet I am 195 and I have the surgery tommorow. I am just worried that I am not going to loose any weight so if you can relate to my situation please let me know any info will help...thank you

I was told I could easily lose 60 pounds and I did. To lose more would take work and I must say i had to work at it. it was not easy but with determination and my wonderful doc I lost 130 lbs and kept it off! I'm 4 years out.

^{I have lost 176 lbs. 34 more to go.....}

Yea my girls will probably get done later in the year along with my legs maybe .. will see after all the scaffolding is gone and my tummy is flatter

Steph - you may just lose at a slower rate. I am down 110 lbs and weigh 151 and now i have to work hard at it but the band has made it easier. I am a text book case. Good luck and keep in touch!
