As of today my wife and I are down 400lbs



Recommended Posts

It has been a long time since I've been on the board. With the weight loss life is to fun and busy to stop LOL. As of today Deb and I have lost a total of an amazing 400lbs. Deb have lost 168 and I have lost 232lbs. We have lost around 50lbs more than our first goals. Our fill is still tight. We many have to have some taken out if we lose any more. We are happy where we are at now. Deb has gone from a size 30 dress to a 8 and I have gone from a size 60 suit to a size 42 and 50 waist to a 32. This last picture was about 50lbs ago.

Congratulations, that's amazing. What a bonus that you two could do this together. You always have that someone there to root you on and also someone who truly understands what you are going through and you can share your hopes and fears with total acceptance.

My DH is so supportive, but try as he may, he can never truly understand.

Of course, that's why I come here!

I am SO glad you posted this thread! Being relatively new, I often wonder what happens in the coming years--and now I can see a real success story continues!!

It does seem sometimes that the only "old" banders who ever post here are those who say they've totally lost their way and have gained back 50 pounds! So it so refreshing to hear from someone who proves the band DOES work forever!!

Our heartiest congratulations to you both, Dow and Deb!! :sneaky: Your picture looks mahvelous, even WITH the extra 50!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
