I am at 10 months post-banding and wanted to share my NSVs with all of you. :clap2:

In no particular order:

1. I have a noticable jawline & cheeckbones, and only 1 chin.

2. I can sit in any seat now and not be squished in by the sides.

3. I now shop in the misses section for my tops (size Large).

4. I weigh less now than I have for the last 18 years.

5. I can cross my legs!

6. I can sit in a booth in a resturant without my belly hitting the table.

7. My collarbones are visible again.

8. Hubby can reach all the way around me when he hugs me.

9. I am just over 1/2 way to my goal weight (mine, not doctors).

10. I can look down when standing and see my toes!

At my first visit to the surgeon my weight was 329. I now am 249.6. My personal goal is 165 or so (doctor says 135).

At 5', 3", that was a lot of weight to carry around. I work out 1 1/2 to 2 hrs 5 days a week at the gym and love it. I hope to be at goal weight at my 2 year bandaversary.

Thanks for sharing with me.

Hu-ray! Thanks for posting this! The NSVs are so very important to show depth and texture for your journey!

CONGRATS!

Those are wonderful NSV's indeed. The scale can not measure the pleasure of sitting comfortably in any seat, any where.
