I will admit I haven't been around the forums as much but that's because I've been successful, It's unfortunately true that the more successful you are with the band the less motivation you have to hang out on internet forums and talk about.

But I want to show support for all of you new Bandsters out there. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions.

The long and short of it is that I have continued to lose weight at a steady pace by watching my calories and exercising as regularly as possible. I've had no complications from the band of any kind yet.

That's me..... Living the banded life. Still watching overall calories. Still exercising six days a week. Still limiting carbs. Still not letting the number on the scale dictate my happiness. Still thanking God for giving me the courage to take charge of my life again. Going into my second "NEW YEAR" since being banded without DIETING and EXERCISE NEW YEAR's RESOLUTIONS!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on your success !!!!!!

Congratulations and thanks for posting! It helps us newbies.

Happy New Year

Congratulations Fred!!

Congrats to all who succeed. Me im a fat failure and its embarassing. I lost 45 first year but gained half of it back. 6 yrs. haven't been to the dr in yrs and I'm so demoralized it hurts. At this point I wanna get it all removed.. ????????????
