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!

Who has lost a 100 pounds before the lap band failed them, or before they had to have another surgery or revised to another surgery.

Just wait, it will happen.

I am so sorry because I believed just like you. I hope you have a long run.

Wow this is what, the 5th thread you've spammed with pure crap?

Seriously, grow the heck up and find a hobby besides acting like a troll.

Hi Awanda,

If your band has failed, that's unfortunate. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Bringing other people down to your disappointment isn't the answer though. I've lost 154 lbs and I did it in a few years time. I'm happier and healthier then ever.

If the band didn't work for you, then maybe you need to find another forum to complain on.

I've lost about 123-still want to lose about 30 more.

Wow congrads to you all! You guys ROCK... real talk! I can't wait until I can say the same! Yaaay!

IVE LOST 140 AND STILL LOOSING!!

I'm almost 5 yrs post op, its been VERRRYYY slow, but omg SOOO WORTH IT!!

Congratulation it has been very slow for me too but indeed well worth it.

I lost over 150 lbs in a little over two years but then after a complete unfill in year 4 I gained about 50 lbs in a little over two years but have lost 30 lbs since January. I will be going to the DR tomorrow for a check up and possibly a small fill in my 4 cc band.

I have lost 175 however it was pre lap band, just getting it today! Want to keep off what I have lost as well as lose more. So away I go! Bought a new maxi dress the other day and the clerk said why are you having this doe you don't need it. B eut I still see myself at over 400 pounds. They want me to take body imaging classes so I guess I will when I am close to my goal. Got to run my ride to the hospital is on her way! Blessings!

I'm down 114 so far. About 50 to go!

Well...I can finally post here. I got on the scale this morning...as I do every Sunday morning and it said 166.8. That means officially I am 100.2 pounds down from my pre-banded weight a year ago. I have a goal on my ticker of 150 lbs. based on my doctor's suggestion but I have no intention of changing how I am eating and will let the scale stop wherever it naturally does.

If I lose more and go below 150, great. If I never lose another pound, still great. I met my goal already. I'm able to buy clothes in stores other than Avenue. I'm in misses sizes and not plus sizes. I lost enough weight to have my hip replacement surgery and am still healing but in a much better place as far as pain and mobility. I can see progress every day in terms of my mobility and it is like being reborn. I look normal now and no one stares at the fat woman anymore.

I want to send my thanks to the band for helping me to get to this point, and also to send my thanks to the folks on this site for providing the inspiration and support I needed and still need to succeed in this journey.

I have lost 144 pnds so far.
