I went to my primary doctor today for a checkup. When I finally caved and said I'd move forward on the bariatric surgery back in the summer of 2012, she did everything to convince me to have bypass or the sleeve because I needed to lose at least 100 lbs. and she said none of her other patients with the band ever lost more than 60 lbs. She said to me that if I could get to 150 lbs. she would be thrilled and she just didn't think that would happen with the band.

Well...today she ate her words. I am at 150 lbs. and uh.... six pounds less than she weighs.

Rock on!

I've been following your posts over the last couple of weeks...so motivating!

Ahhhhmazzing I think with the band it's how we work it as well. Great work and always thanks for continuing to motivate n inspire me

Nice story! Congrats

You've motivated this bander! Good for you! Now when your doc counsels patients on WLS choices, she can say that patients with the band CAN lose any amount of weight, as long as they WORK IT!!!!!

Awesome!!!!!

That's so awesome!
