It's been six weeks since my lap band surgery and I have to tell you so far I am extremely happy of how it is helping me lose my weight.

I underlined that because I see alot of people who are somewhat disheartened with their outcome so far. The band will not work miracles for you. Its a 50/50 plan that you have to work with as well.

You can do it and you can make this happen for you.

So far in the past 6 weeks I am proud to say that 51 pounds are gone that I will never see back again. Sayonara, Good Riddence and dont let the door hit you in the #$%.

Best of Luck to all

Very inspiring. Congratulations!!!

Well done! You are rocking the band!

I agree with you completely - there are bandsters our there who are desperate to lose the weight, yet they haven't modified their eating habits, the quality of food consumed or the speed at which they consume it. No wonder they progress is slow, or stalled.

I've found myself stalling here and there (damn you, cabernet sauvignon addiction!), and when I do, I remind myself of the 8 golden rules by watching the videos again. Never fails to kick start my weight loss again by reminding me of the importance of keeping up MY end of the "banding bargain".

Congrats on your loss! AMAZING!
