Congratulations! I love approvals or surgery schedules that come on a Friday! You are guaranteed a great weekend because you're riding a cloud of euphoria. Mine came on a Friday too. ????

Congratulations! You'll do fine and you'll make it way below your goal of 190!

That was probably my goal when I had the Lapband. I'm at 270 right now, and my surgeon said I should lose 100lbs in the first year and another 20-30 during the second year?!? I can't even imagine myself down to around 140-150. ????????

I started at 272 and was down exactly 100 lbs the day of my one year anniversary! I am 14 lbs below my lowest after the lap band.

Congrats!!!
