What a lovely surprise to find this message! Yes, it's been a year. I've been absorbed in too many other issues lately to do much serious reflection on the band, but I'll check in soon. Thanks!

I think I'm gonna cry! I've been looking at the half-empty side of life lately (must be all those screwed-up hormones), and sometimes I forget where I was 12 months ago: not only 65 pounds heavier, but with high blood pressure, joint trouble, problems walking without getting winded, not to mention a sense of hopelessness about my weight. But, thanks in part to the wonderful people at LBT whose posts I read before taking the big step, I wasn't quite ready to resign myself to a (short) lifetime of total fatness. Maybe I haven't lost as much as I hoped to, but without the band I surely would be at least 275 lbs. by now. And I would have missed online friends like all of you! Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and a special thank-you to Eileen, who thoughtfully started the thread.

BTW, my goal weight is still 160 -- by my second bandiversary, August 26, 2006.

Zoe, well done. Sixty-five pounds is nothing to scoff at. You deserve a pat on the back and a shopping trip hehe. Keep up the good work :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
