He Benito,

Congratulations on your weight loss. I am 59 as well and had the band placed in April. I feel so much better and this way I feel there is just as much of me to love, just in a smaller package. You will be the same person, just healthier and finding it a little easier to get around. Many blessings on your journey to good health.

Sally

Welcome! I'm 53, got the band 8/29, and have lost 41! Love the band! Your attitude is wonderful; I'm sure you'll be an inspiration to all of us here!

Welcome benito. What a wounderful outlook you have! May God bless you.. Good luck on your journey.

RIGHT ON MY LADY!!! We have so much to love. Thank you for your sweet reply. I am feeling really good too. I realize that the saying patience is a vertue. I wish I was at my goal now, i can almost see the weight loss every day. i know that we will achieve our goals soon. stay tuned and alert to temptation. Our weakest point is through our desire to satisfy our cravings and desire to eat!!!

God speed and stay well!!!!
