O.k. so I really hate introductions. My name is Deanna. I am 30 yrs old and I was band 12-21-07. To date I have lost 110lbs and I have 20 more to reach my personal goal. It has been hard but I would do it all again in a minute.

Hi Deanna! Congratulations on your weight loss. That is fantastic that you have lost 110 lbs in a little over a year. When you say it has been 'hard' what do you mean? Have you had complications? How have you overcome the 'hard' times? I like to hear other bandster's strategies. I have been banded 4 1/2 months and have lost 45 pounds. I have about 50 -60 more pounds to lose.

Congratulations! You are amazing! I would love to hear more about your story as well. I have not had the band yet and am in the process of getting one. I would like to know what your #1 tip would be to someone who is just getting started with the band? What was your hardest obstacle?
