Just wanted to say hello to everyone. :wub: I was banded on 09/30/2008 and have lost 25 lbs so far. I lost most of it within the first 8 weeks post banding. I had another fill yesterday so hopefully the weight loss will start to kick in again.

As you might have noticed by "skinnyby40" that was my goal. Unfortunately, I might have to extend that to 40 and a half or 41 since I turn forty the 27th of this month! I wish everyone the best of luck on your weightloss journey!!!

Hi there and welcome to LBT. You are doing great thus far. Sorry about missing the 40 goal, but what is important is how healthy you will be for all your future birthdays, and that you will probably have many more of them now!

DO you like having the ban or do you think it was a bad idea. I am just starting to think about it and i am pretty scared.

WOW !!! 25 pounds that's Great!! and Happy Belated Birthday to you . I will be banded on January 14TH ,I can't wait till I reach my first 25 pounds .I am scared as hell (of the pain ) but I will have this done regardless,I need to. I'm 42 years old and I want to live ,have a full life time of memories to carry me into my old age. I have a 4 year grandson who I'm raising ,and I want to give him the best of me .Base games ,football--- times that will carry him into adulthood and he can look back and say he had a Great a life with me. Best thoughts and wishes I send you ,and keep everyone posted on your progress I would love to hear your updates.

I have no regrets so far. I wish I had done this a year ago. I turn 40 on the 27th of this month and I am looking forward to more weight loss in the months to come. I would like to be much more active in my 40's.
