I just hope and pray I have another four years with my best friend....my band, which has changed my life forever! :thumbup:

The first picture was four years ago, the second was taken a few weeks ago.

Congrats! I am about 10 months post op with a loss of about 50 #. I also view my band as a friend! My biggest fear right now is losing it! Stories such as yours are encouraging to me!

I have had only one fill so far and am close to my goal. I am enjoying eating whatever I want (just not overeating) and living a "normal" life. I wish I had had it done 25 yrs ago!

Here's to the next 4+++ years!

Congrats on your weight loss. I love hearing from the long-term bandsters. You give us newbies hope.

You look amazing and are such a wonderful inspiration to everyone here!

Congrats!! You look great!!

How wonderful! You look amazing! What an inspiration you are to all of us!

Congratulations on four years!!! You are an inspiration to know the results are lasting!

Thank you all so much, at my age, almost 60, I feel like an inspiration. I love the new me and I'm not only lovin life, I'm living it to the fullest. You can all do it.

There are lots of people that have done a lot better than I have in a shorter amount of time, that's why it's so important to realize we're all individual and we lose at our own pace.

Hugs to you all.

Here's a picture of me a few days before surgery and then a couple of weeks ago, again, at my 40th anniversary party, like I said lovin life!

Congratulations! You have done so very, very well!

HarleyNana - Not only have you done an amazing job with your weight loss, but you don't look almost 60!!!!! I'd like your secret to both!!

Gentylwind - Great new pic!

You look wonderful and soooo much younger. Thank you so much for posting, I have had my band for almost a year and love to hear from old band timers.. AND WHO ARE THE HOT MEN IN THAT PIC???????

LOIS

FAbulous!!!!

Thanks for being an inspiration.

Lois, those two hot guys were my wonderful sons, the old bald headed geezer is my hubby. It was a surprise 40th anniversary party for me. It was a wonderful night, funny thing is, had I not lost the weight, I probably wouldn't have left the house.

I love my band :wink2:
