Banded July 2003

SW: 330pds and lost 105pds. Was originally a size 24/3X and now size 14/16. Lowest was a 10/12. Kept it off for over a decade and gained 20pds recently which isn't a big feat to lose. Only had 3 fills over the course of being banded and I honestly love the fact that I have complete control and I can tolerate all foods and I know when to walk away from a plate on my own.

Love???? love hearing good band stories. As you can read it is not for everyone and many are not successful. And perhaps non compliant? Don't know.

A common thread seems to be keeping the fill in our bands a bit low. I just read many posts of dehydration

And sleeping upright due to tight band issues.

I'm very thankful I was one of the

" lucky " ones that seemed to have good long term results. It has changed my life for the better and certainly for the healthier.

For me the three times my band was super tight were not very pleasant. My band and I are at our best when it has less Fluid in it.

I am very grateful for the tremendous opportunity to live a healthier more active life.

I just have to make more good choices than bad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
