:scared: :)

Holy smokes, Canadian, I saw on the other thread that you've lost 110 lbs. Congratulations and well done! How much to your goal now?

I'm from the west coast, got banded in Mexico about 3 months ago, lost 50 lbs total but nothing this week and still looking for my sweet spot. I guess I've lost enough that I have almost no restriction at the moment, so I'm back for a fill next week.

And yes, I'm happy about the band.

Hey!

Glad you made it over here!

I think you should start your very own thread too :grouphug:

I was banded by Dr. Cobourn, just over 6 months ago. As you can see (from my ticker), I'm at 68lbs gone so far... and 70-something to go. That's not for sure, cause I don't know what weight I really would be happy at, cause I've never been anything less than 200+ lbs.

I am also very happy with my decision. Everythings gone pretty smoothly so far, and even the times that haven't been so great, were still worth it.

What about you?!

I was banded at the Toronto Lap Band Centre on Sept 7 of this year. I am losing weight but I can't tell you how much because I don't have a scale.

Hi guys, hope you're all having a good weekend so far!

I just had to share a little bit of excitement that happened yesterday.

Dan and I went to Walmart after work, cause he wanted to look for some DVD. I wandered off to the clothes section, and grabbed a pair of dress pants, in an experimental size.... and went to try them on, just for the hell of it. Well.... they fit. And what size were they?

*drumroll*

an 18 !!! :omg:

I didn't buy them, of course.... or any pants. I SHOULD, cause I neeeeed some, but I'm holding out. I'm still wearing some that are 26's, 24's and my most recent purchase, the 22's.

Funny thing, as we were walking into Walmart, and I was hiking up my pant for the millionth time that day, I said "UGGGG.... I hate my clothes". And Dan said "Why?" ... and I caught my self saying (with a sigh) "All my pants are too big". I had to laugh (and so did he), cause that's NEVER been a problem before. Who am I to complain? I'd rather have my pants falling down more and more every day, than them getting tighter and tighter.

Also... I have ONE belt. It's a crappy belt, it came with some jeans I bought long ago. But it's my one and only belt, and it's been getting alot more use. When I first got it, I had to wear it on the last, or 2nd last notch. (those have a LOT of wear, all stretched out and torn) Then at one point I lost some weight, and was so excited, I made a mark on it cause I could wear it at the 3rd notch, and I wanted to 'mark the occasion'. NOW... I'm on the very last (of 6) notches!!! Woo!

Wow argon, that must be a great feeling! i can't wait to get there. Why are you holding out for new pants tho? treat yourself!!you deserve a reward.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: FANTASTIC:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!! I've got goosebumps reading, Yeaaaaa!!!!

Hey, when do we get to call you the skinny bitch from down east??
