I was actually banded March 24th 2008 in Roanoke, VA. It has been a great year. I have about 30 - 40 pounds more to lose. 5 more pounds and I will no longer be obese!!!!!

Follow the rules and exercise and you will do great.

Take Care,

I was banded March 24th in Houston, TX. I love it so far! Since pre op I have lost 22 lbs. My goal is 130 so good luck to all that have been banded. :biggrin:

Just wondering how all the March 24 bandsters are doing?

Hi Jujvee; This march 24th banster is doing ok, though the last couple of weeks I haven't lost any and I am pretty sure it's something I am doing or not doing, so I am a little frustrated. Congradulation on loosing so much so far. I am down 42lbs since surgery, wish it was a little more, but I've got to be happy with my progress so far. Do you have any special receipes or things you do to keep on track? Keep in touch.

Jdelaera actually we are close on weight loss, I lost 30 pre op.

I haven't weighed in a couple weeks I wanted to break my addiction to the scale, it's so liberating. I am so close to getting out of the 3's that I can't wait to see a weight in the 2's.

I love to cook send me your email in a private message and I will send you some recipes.

It's almost our 1 year... how is everyone doing..

I have good days and bad days but no matter what I keep going and never give up... I'm training for my first half marathon and that has continued to hold me accountable on exercise. I've just had the one fill and that seems to be fine for now.. I actually like that I have restriction but not so much that I can't eat breads and Pasta. I still have smaller portions.

I can't believe that I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel....

Congratulations on your weight loss, I was banded on 3/16/09, but have lost all my 3/16 band buddies. Can't believe that it has almost been a year. I am so happy to be where I am today the things now that come so easily like crossing your legs, sitting on my foot in my chair at work. Things that were such a problem a year ago are gone. I love being banded.

Keep up the great work!

Its crazy that its almost a year!!! Congrats to u two on your great success! I am very happy that I got it done! New Beginnings, its a great feeling to do those things that we could not do a year ago. So far I have been doing very well with the band. I haven't had a fill done, but as long I am still losing the weight thats all that counts. Good luck to you both on ur weight loss journey. :)
