:tongue2:Can't believe its been almost 3 years since i've banded!! I know how much this boards forums helped me out so i just wanted to stop by and say thanks to everyone...we really need to stick together because we are the only ones that really know what one another are going through..So I hope to frequent the forums a little more and even comment a tad bit more...lol....

TXfella, thanks for "stopping by". i have been reading up on the forums for a few days trying to gather all the info I can before my banding. Nice to hear fromm someone who had this done a few years ago and still maintaining. That will be my goal also. Good luck! jenhay

No problem jenhay....Good luck and keep us posted!!

Wow! congrats on your weight loss.

Wow! congrats on your weight loss.

Thanks lanejane and congrats to you as well!!!

Well hello to a fellow Texan, I think. We're both at 3 years. It's great isn't it! It's gone better for me than I ever expected it to. You've done great and I'm very proud of you. Like you said, who knows better than all the great people on here what we all have gone through. I feel like a new person and I'm sure you do too. So, don't be shy, you can say pretty much anything you want to on here. You've lost all that weight so you need to be shouting it from the roof top. Congratulations!

Becky you've done marvelous!!!

Txfella-

You look GREAT in your avatar shot! Do you have before and after pix you can post in the pictures section? I'll bet it's really dramatic!

gotta get the pics before the surgery but i just posted a year after and a recent pic on the before and after thread

Welcome to posting on the forums ...it is great to hear from the long term banders. Enjoy! (going to check out your photos on the before and after thread now!)
