I haven't been on here in a long time. I seemed to have gotten used to life with the band....which is a good thing!

One year ago today, I had my lap band surgery. I went from 241.3 pounds to 153 pounds! My BMI went from over 38 to 24.5. I am considered a normal weight. I am now between a size 8 and a 10. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and he has never seen me this small. And I still haven't had a fill!! All this from just having the band put it!

I am feeling great and couldn't be happier. Actually just had a family photo shoot and love the pictures! LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!

Good for you! Congrats

Great journey...thanks for sharing!

Yes...congratulations....getting used to life with the band is the ultimate success, in my opinion...not thinking about or worrying about this or that little thing, calories, dieting, everything now is 2nd nature...the band has set the rules in stone....it has become a permanent part of you, a true new "Lifestyle" reaching your "Normal Weight"

Also congratulations on not having a fill....I have read some people can achieve this...just proves that all people who have had this WLS are not the same, and not necessarily a "Right or Wrong"...just your personal success story....

ENJOY!!!!!!
