Hello Band buddies:

It has been a while since I posted anything but I am 2 years post-op and wanted to update everyone. After many years of struggling with my weight and loosing more than 100 pounds the "natural" way I decided to have lap-band surgery in March of 2012. What a great decesion I made for me, my family, and future. At my highest weight I was 326 pounds and on the day of surgery I weight 242 pounds. Today I have maintied a weight of between 152-154 lbs.

The surgery is not a quick fix and requires that I stay in tuned with my body and my band but the small amount of effort required has ceartinaly paid off in better mental and phyiscal health.

For anyone who is struggling with your band or considering having the surgery please remember that you are worth it and begin again or start your journey.
