Today I had to go see my primary care doctor. I hadn't seen him since January and his immediate response upon seeing me was 'holy cow you lost a ton of weight'.

But...here's the cool part: I met another Lap Band success today!

The nurse at my doctor's office had Lap Band surgery just 2 weeks before I did, so the end of December 2011. Same surgeon, even the same nutritionist I used.

She has lost 113 pounds!

I have to tell you I wish I had her pic because she looks freak'n amazing. She is so cute and petite, I'm guessing maybe a size 8 at the very most. Looking at her, I'd have never guessed she was once obese.

Like me, she absolutely loves her band. We talked for about 20 minutes about our experiences with food, how we eat now, and the changes we've made. She also agreed that seeing her nutrtitionist played a huge role in her success as well.

So anyway, I had to share her story with everyone. It was just cool for me to meet such a huge success with the Lap Band in person.

That is so cool! Congratulations to both of you!!!

I love hearing stories like that.

That's awesome to hear - so motivating!!
