I was banded on September 27th and am down 17 pounds! So excited. I started mushies 5 days ago and was concerned the weight loss would stop, but so far it's still coming off. My main focus is letting my tummy and insides heal from surgery but the weight loss is a great motivator! I have never once felt like I made a mistake or like I was being cheated. I wanted this, I worked hard to get approval and I plan to use this tool to help me be the healthier, fittest Carrie I can be! 9 more lbs and I will be smaller then I have been in 12 years!

Congrats! Keep it up girl!!! Just think how much easier all those outdoor activities you love will be.

So happy for you -- you are doing beautifully! I am scheduled for 11/5 and can't wait to be banded and start this journey to health and vitality.
