Hi I just came across this website this evening and signed up this site is amazing so much great information and encouragement. I was banded in April 07. I have lost a total of 110 pounds. It is amazing how I have lost so much and still feel like I still have so much more to loose. I am currently struggling with overeating and not eating the right foods or the right amounts. Man is this a process and I am still learning I thought I would be done learning by now but I guess not. Anyway I guess that is enough for now. Good luck to everyone in the process of getting your band it is SO worth all the work to get it and the work after it is definately not a quick fix.

Crystal, where you banded this year? It really takes a while to get use to the new you. Remember the old cliche- OLD HABITS DIE HARD!!! I am up to date- addicted to chips and coca-cola!!! Coca-cola does not go well with the band- the fizz just goes up to the nose... so you just have to learn to just STOP! Good luck and enjoy the adventure- Just don't forget to get filled once in a while- this really keeps our weight down!
