Hi all that read this

I have been banded for 3 weeks and lost 17.6 pound and feel great that means i have broken into the 200's. I'm really happy with myself, i go for a check up with my surgeon in 3 days hope all is well with me on the inside as i feel it is. I am soooo happy i had the lapband it seems to have improved my confidence already and love the fact that i put my clothes on and they are feeling bigger i don't stretch my tops anymore

Woo Hoo Lill!!! Sounds like you are doing a terrific job with your band!!! Congratulations on your success!!!! You'll be shopping for new clothes before you know it !!!!

Darcy

Congraulations Lill! Thats so great that you on a great start of a new and happier life.I will be hopefully soon.Let us know about your Dr.visit.

Joyce

What a terrific milestone! :banana

It's the best, isn't it? I know EXACTLY how you feel and am so happy for you!!

Hi Lil,

Way to go, you made it past the first triple digit!!! :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

I was banded only 6 days before you and have lost the same. It's amazing to me also the difference I feel in my clothes. I have clothes ranging in sizes from 16 to 22. I think the 22's are just about out of here. :eek: I have kept the smaller clothes hoping that some day I would get back into them and the larger pants knowing that if I lost I would probably need them for my "fat days". This time I am not going to keep a range of sizes. They will be gone as soon as they are too big. Hopefully there won't be a need for them ever again.

Take Care and Keep up the good work!!!

Lill, that is fantastic! The very best part is that you are feeling so well and so confident! I can't wait until my clothing feels loose! You know, people talk about being able to wear sexy clothes ... no, I just want loose! Flowing even!

Like Kathy, I have a wide range of clothing sizes 16 to 28. It was when I bought the 28 that I knew I had to make a decision! I will throw them (give them) away as I lose, but I'm going to keep the 28 crop-pants! I plan on taking a picture of me with both legs in one pant leg!

Best wishes to your continued success!

What a great idea Debra. I think I will choose a favorite pair of pants and do the same. It would be fun if all of us could get together and try are largest size on when we are down to where we are comfortable. It would make for a great photo.

Take care, just the idea of that picture makes me smile :eek:

That's awesome Lill!Loose clothes is the best!!!

I love the photo idea...hum were should we meet Hawaii!!!

Chantal

Chantal... you have the BEST ideas!!!! Hmmmm... if I did the hula right now I would need aholata room! Boy would I make that grass skirt sway! If you wait for Joyce you have to wait for me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, if we're going to Hawaii, we should all save our current swimsuits for the pictures! HA! Move over Robin, the rest of us are gonna make our own billboard!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE...

Swimsuits????? I gave those up years ago! :sick In regards to the billboard... I get to stand in back of y'all. (o:

Standing behind everyone is usually my spot. Won't it be nice when the camera doesn't scare us all!!! Hawaii sounds great maybe this time next year???

Thanks for the support, Hawaii sounds like a great idea my sister and i had plans to go to Bali this time next year with my new body but Hawaii sounds like just as much fun, It would be a great advertising shot for the lapband to see all of our sucess's in one picture
