Hello, it's been a long time since i've reached out on this Forum. How are you guys doing?

Hello Byrd. Your profile pix look great so you are obviously doing really well!

I was banded 13 April 2011 and I'm doing great. I've lost 63kg (135-140lb I think) and so many clothes sizes that I now have an entirely new wardrobe. I have a new found energy for exercise - cycling, walking, dancing, swimming and a really positive attitude to life.

Hello July 2011 Bandsters. Been a while since I have posted..Things are going well for me. Down 124 pounds with about 10 or so to go. I am actually down to 144 pounds and a size 8. I was even called SKINNY the other day by some friends. I looked around to see who they were talking about. Feeling great, staying active (as I can for a very cold Florida winter). I just signed up to do 2 - 5K races - one in February and one in March. I am so excited. I really like to new me and all my "tiny clothes". I still have issues seeing myself as fat and yes, I still like to have a sweet every now and then, but by and large, all is well. I still see my Doctor regularly and I would do this again in a minute. Hope all is well with you guys. Stay in touch. Melinda in Florida
