I am almost 2 years out from my surgery and down almost 100 pounds!!!! I can not belive it!!!!!! I never thought that i would ever be in the place i am in now. My 2 year goal was to be down 100 pounds and with three months left i think i can do this!!!! At first i had my doubts but looking back at the person i was and the person i am today i am so much happier. I still have a ways to go on my journey its slow but i know one day i will get there if i keep working hard at it. Sure there are days i get discouraged and days i eat what i know i shouldnt but i dont let that stop my progress it just makes me work harder!!! I hope everyone else has the same success as me if not more and good luck to everyone on their journey.

Good Morning, that's AWESOME, I know exactly how you feel, and I didn't realize that until I felt it! I stood taller cuz for the 1st time in my life my boobs were not dragging me down, I even felt sexy but at now 65 and back where I am that went S as well! You take care, keep up your hard work, and God bless you!

Mary, congratulations on your amazing success -- I am so happy for you! 100 pounds is my goal as well, though is won't really know until I'm closer if that's the right number for my body. But I'm very hopeful that I can get there. And at seven months out and fifty some down, I am thrilled with my band. Even more then the weight loss is the great relief and feeling of freedom -- out of food jail.

Congratulations, Mary! Your progress is inspiring and the fact that you feel great and feel great about yourself is the best testimony of all.

I just celebrated my 2 year bandiversary in May 2014 and I can agree--this was the best decision I ever made (besides having my kids), I've lost 70 lbs and have thirty to go but im not worried. Taking it VERY slow has worked for me. I took my time to figure out which foods I can and cannot (bread, pizza) eat and three months after surgery I started exercising at the gym and now I do Bikram yoga 4-5 times per week. I feel great. I look great (if I must say so myself) and again,I am so happy I decided to do this. Thanks for sharing your story and letting me know Im not alone in this journey!

Congrats all. I am also 2 years out. I surpassed my goal and just started training for my first marathon.

Yes you will get there. Congratulations and continued success.
