Its been a long time since I have posted. One of the reasons is, my surgeon's office in Bloomington In started a local Lap Band support group on line.Its cool to chat with those in my local area as well as this forum.

Update-- Banded 11-8-12

Starting wght 225

Wght now 188

I have not been in the 180's for 15 years wooooooooooooo hooooooooooo!!! Still have a ways to go but have gone from a size 18 to a 14 and even some 14's are getting lose on me. I love the lap band!! I have made mistakes and eaten things I shouldn't and paid the price and its still a work in progress but I am in the "Green Zone" and very happy.

I love Missy's post and they are so encouraging for me to read and I am so proud of her and how far she has come. Every story is different but the goals are the same, lose weight, get healthy

Lab band for life and love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awwww thank you :wub:

Congrats on all your success!

i agree with you on the missy front. she has been so helpful and i really look up to her. so thank you missy for all the education and support you give on the site.
