I haven't been on for a while because I have been working 70 hour weeks and try to spend time with my husband and son when I am not working.

But I just wanted to check in and let you all know that it has taken almost 18 months, but I am a size 10 now and only have 15 pounds left to lose!

It has not been easy, I have had minor complications requiring a few unfills, and I still occasionally miss some of the foods I can no longer eat. But I would do this again in a heartbeat and I would pay 10 times as much if I had to.

Don't let the occasional discomfort or weight plateaus get you down. It's a slow process and there is a lot to learn, but the band works if you take care of it- and yourself!!

You're right. It's hard to avoid putting too much pressure on ourselves but as they say "slow and steady wins the race"! Congrats on the 15 lbs to go! I bet you're glowing!

Congrats to you, Glad you have been a success story.

We need that!

Wow! well done Heather...you are an inspiration...Good luck on the rest of your weightloss! I hear the last few can be a bit slower to loose so keep us posted.

Thanks for the inspiration. Sometimes I forget this is going to take me 1.5-2 years. I want it now!
