:tt2:I just had to share how wonderful the lap band has been for me. I was banded on sept17th, and with the 2week pre diet I am down 63 lbs. I am learning a ton. Most of all is that the key to losing weight does not change with the band, it comes down to watching what you eat and exercise(lots of it). before I started I wore a 20 or 22 inch neck on my shirt, Tonight I bought a 17.5. I was wearing a 44 pants size, just bought a 38. My bmi is below 40, and my drivers licence weight is actuall acurate. Yeah for the band. it is possible with the right amount of work and a great support system(New U in Idaho falls rocks) and a great family. Lets all keep pushing foward,

CONGRATS!!!!!!! You just totally inspired me to keep working hard!!! You should be very proud of yourself!

Looks like you are doing good yourself. It's funny but, I almost feel like I'm getting addicted to working out,or maybe just the results anyways keep up the work.

Good Morning! I'm estatic too!!! I was banded on Nov 4, so I'm 3 weeks out working on my fourth. I have yet to have my 1st post-op visit and fill with my doctor, that's scheduled for Dec 23. So I've decided to wait till that first visit to get weighed. It's been so tempting to hop on the scale and take a peek. At any rate I got up early this morning to try and piece a outfit together for dinner this evening with my family, and much to my surprise I can fit clothes I havnt worn in years! I certainly didnt expect a change to happen so quickly, I've recieved comments from friends and family about my weight loss but I just didnt see it till this morning. I'm so excited and I cant wait to really really get back to working out to see more results!!:grouphug:

Great job!
