I just want to take a minute to share my happiness. This has been a very interesting year and a half with my band but I have finally hit my stride. I seem to have figured it out. I am down to 160lbs from 220lbs. My size 10s are too big, and someone told me I looked skinny today. I weigh less than my drivers license says and I just feel so happy. I can't tell you what it feels like not to wake up everyday and have my weight be the first thing I think of. Dressing up is a pleasure now. I go shopping for the first time in my life. I can't believe what I see in the mirror.

I just pray that I don't suffer any complications like so many others have before me. Those of you who have lost your bands are constantly in my thoughts.

I still dont think I would recomend the band for a loved one, but I am so happy I did it for me.
