Don't ever let anyone tell you "you can't do this" ...not even yourself. I am the perfect example of the band being a TOOL not an easy way out. I struggled like hell to slim down and still do. I still have to count calories and go to the gym. I have days where I am tired. I have days where I am hungry. And I have times where the scale fluctuates. But I'm never giving up! To anyone that thinks the band is an easy fix, it's not. I thought maybe it would be too. But after my initial weight loss from surgery, I realized it was not enough. I lost 80 total and I can say only about 30 was a result of surgery. But it gave me the drive to press on. To eat better, and gave me the confidence to get in the gym. Please message me if you have any questions, especially related to nutrition or workouts. I would love to help on your journey. I'm still on mine :)

Congratulations and continued success. I'm over 4 years out as well and it is still not easy. We still have to watch what and how much we eat. It is a weekly sometimes daily struggle. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Congratulations!! You look fantastic. :)

We have an expression in our house, "these human bodies!" I don't think I had any idea what is really required for maintaining a healthy body. For any one, fat or slim. If it's not one thing it's another -- dentist, eye doctor, PT exercises, skin care regime, the regular exercise, etc. Thank goodness I got my band as I'm so much healthier going into middle older age (eek!).

Hey, well done on your journey. Your looking great. I am hoping to book to have the band fitted in Poland. And wanting to get any advise in terms of real experiences people have had after surgery. How long to recover and till you start seeing result. I have done endless research but sometimes feel I'm reading the same things. Would be nice to hear from others who have been through the surgery
