Hello. I have gone through the process yer? But i need inspiration. When were u banded? How much hve u lost ? Whats your current weight?

I was banded 1/30/12 at 330 pounds, today I am at 191 with 20 pounds to go for my goal. Getting slow now as I am down a pound, up a pound, but the clothes size is still going down. Started at a 24-26 and I am now in a 14. Love my band! Also, I have only had one fill.

Starting weight 309

Surgery date 5/30/12

Today weight 246 down 63 lbs

Very inspiring we are all in this together. I LOVE your use of the word FREEDOM ... When I was 450+ pounds I felt (and was) imprisoned in my Body in able to do much of anything - connected to oxygen ... I would think ... Geez even people with a Life sentence in solitary get out of their cell to walk around/exercise an hour or so a

Week... Yet I CAN NEVER escape the prison of my broken body for even a minute

Life is different now !! Freedom is awesome : )

You are very INSPIRING! nothing is impossible if you do the work. Congrats on your new found freedom.. it must be bliss!

I was banded may 2008, started at 280, 270 at surgery, an then 8 months later I found out I was pg with my oldest; I was weighing 208 at the time and 15ish pounds away from goal. Of course I was unfilled and ate EVERYTHING! Needless to say I gained almost all of my weight back. I dilly dallied around with my weight loss, it was super hard for me to go back to my healthy eating habits. I would over eat and make myself sick a lot. This delayed my weight loss, until one day I was sick & tired and buckled down. I was at 217 last Xmas when I found out I was pg again i didn't gain this much this pregnancy (at least I don't think) and here I am now, two fills @ 2.2 252lbs and hoping to stay on course. Life isn't perfect and things will happen but it's important to get back up when we get knocked down and delayed in our journeys... I learned the hard way ;D
