Allow me to add my congratulations as well. I was banded 3/25/08 and have lost 103 lbs. Sounds like you are well on your way to doing the same. You go girl! Proof that the band works if you use it properly. Keep up the good work.

Do you count your calories?

How much exercise do you do?

Can you tell me what has been the hardest thing for you to deal with and how you have overcome it?

Tina I am so happy for you. You found the Band 50 years sooner than I did and we both are doing very well.

Some advice form the good habits now at a very young age you know what the are don't you?

Make exercise a habit.

Eat only high quality food.< /p>

And so on

Live a happy health life food does not have to rule us.

Good Luck

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
