The scale doesn't lie. But as I'm sure most of us know. I don't really "see" my 36 lbs weight loss. I was feeling like I needed some encouragement so u snapped a pic. I'm happy to report I can SEE the difference. I still have a long way to go, but this is a start

I'm down 36 lbs. I had a minor set back due to a flipped port and a second surgery but I've been losing about .5-1.5 a week since then I was banded October 16th

That's great! I'm so excited to get this weight off and I already love my band!

You absolutely can see a wonderful difference.

I also had a flipped port, I had no idea until they tried doing a fill. I went in, had it corrected and was back to work the next day.

You look terrific....I too cant always see it in the mirror and have been taking pics to help me see the changes along the way!

Way to go...keep it going and keep us posted! LOVE to hear success stories.

And our kids have the most honest opinions of all...gotta love their sweetness and their honesty

no I had no idea until I went for my first fill, my doc sent me to the ER for X-ray then called an we scheduled the surgery for two days later. I just went back last week for my second fill ( he put 2 cc in at the port revision) and it went like a dream
