I find myself often wondering how your doing. Its been a yr. I am not close to my goal but i am moving that way. i so hope each of you are having success.

You're doing great!! I'm coming along!! My total loss to date including my 25 lbs lost before surgery is 122.8. Almost to my skin removal weight!!!

I'm still pluggin away. I get a fill, lose 10 lbs and then stop dead. Time for another fill but since I had surgery in Mexico it's a bit of a hassle. Working on not being too hard on myself. Good to hear from you.

Hugs,

So good to see people still posting in the forum I made it to my initial goal weight of 160 and am currently jumping around 155ish. I'm still trying to decide if I want to change my goal to 145 but am satisfied where I am if this is where I am to stay.

The lapband was really the start of a lot of positive change in my life and I am so happy with the changes that have come my way. Some days it is still shocking to look in the mirror and see this new me staring back, but I have embraced the adventure and am happy with it all.

I kind of dropped off the forums for awhile as I gained a social life and got nearer to goal as all I kept reading was negativity. I am back on here often reading a lot of posts but not posting nearly as often as I once did.

SO good to see you all...

I had my 3rd fill this week. I've lost a total of 38 lbs with 10 of it being before surgery. I was getting a little discouraged because I was only losing about 10 lbs each time I had a fill and then would hold my weight until the next fill. I had my surgery and fills in Mexico so getting a fill was a bit of a hassle. Long story short here: I found someone local and am back on the track. Hopefully I'll start losing again as I only have about 25 more to get to my goal. It's certainly been a process and I haven't lost it as fast as I thought I would but hey, sometimes you get what you need in life, not what you want.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Be well, be happy,
