My one year band-Anniversary!

Hi Everyone..

Actually yesterday was my one year anniversary for being banded (Sept 11th), but I didnt get a chance to log on. I dont get to the boards too often between work and kids, etc etc, but just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here because I couldnt have had such a successful year without the tips and invaluable information I have learned on this board!!

Here are a couple of pics. The first one is from Aug 2006, where I was about 230. The second is from Monday (Sep 10th), my son's first day of kindergarten!

Congratulations on your success with the lap band! You are such a great example of the results that we all want to achieve.

Do you have any tips or suggestiions for those of us that are at 6-9 months post op? I'm currently at a plateau and feel really frustrated. I would be thrilled to lose more weight before my band-anniversary.

Congratulations again!

Make that my 2 YEAR Band-Anniversary!

Wow. I cant believe it has been two years today since I had my band placed!!!

I have been quite busy and away from the forums for a long time, but thought I would post an update today..

The band has changed my life in such a positive way. I am happier, healthier, and just enjoying life!

Here is a current pic taken a couple of weeks ago at Disneyworld!

Congrats Sherry!

You look fantastic, and to have maintained your loss (plus lost a few more) in your second year is also fantastic.

I pray that I'll be as successful as you are - I'd love to have similar results:thumbup:
