I was banded 11/8/12. Weighed 230 pounds and wire size 20 jeans. (I'm vertically challenged)Yesterday I weighed 187 and wore a snug 14 all day!!! I feel soooo great! My knees don't hurt and clothes are fun again. It is taking more patience than I thought it would. Fills seem too far apart sometimes! I find I lose when I low carb and plateau when I don't. Better than gaining any day! The best advise I got about my band was "the band doesn't work when you are eating, it works two hours later" so true!

Still got my eye on those sassy size eight jeans I have hanging by my elliptical, but at least now it seems possible!

I was banded on June 22, 2012 at 244, now I am 190 - size 14 like you. You are doing wonderful, keep hitting it. I hope to hit those 180's soon- my weight loss feels sooooo slow.

Wow!! U keep it up! So inspired!! I haven't had mine yet '

Cool
