My surgery is set for June 4th, sooooo excited! Looking for fun people to have this experience with! Thanks and good luck everyone!

I'm here too:) I had surgery June 13 and have lost 71 pounds to date:) very happy with my decision to have the surgery!

Hello my fellow bandsters! I was banded June 2013. I can't believe I am approaching 1 year. How is everyone doing? I'm doing well. I've lost 60lbs so far. I had a few months of plateaus. I have definitely lost more inches than weight. I've gone from a size 22W to a 16W. I work out with a trainer twice a week and on my own 3 days. Total of 5 days a week. I have finally hit the green zone! I recently found out I have hypothyroidism. It may explain why my weight loss has slowed. I start meds today so we will see how that goes. My surgeon thinks it will help tremendously. I am so happy that I chose to have lapband surgery. It is an fantastic tool and has taught me how to eat and actually enjoy food. It's amazing how such small amounts can satisfy me now. I have attached a before and a few in progress photos. I hope everyone is doing great!!
