Hello all, my name is Stephanie. I'm 32 years old and live in Lincoln, Nebraska. I've been banded since 11/18/08. I've lost 81 pounds so far and still going strong! I've got about 125 pounds more to go to my dream goal.

Josie is my Maltese-mix, who is my baby. She and I are an inseparable team.

I met Crimson Tide on another LB forum and he said you guys are awesome, so here I am! Can't wait to meet you all!

Hi Steph

Welcome! I am new too, 27 from Australia and also have a beautiful Maltese-mix called Jack. He's very much my baby and we're also inseperable, so I know where you're coming from!

Enjoy the forums

Glad you're here!

Also, I have a Bichon and he reminds me of your Maltese mix. So cute!

OMG!! Hi Stephanie, it is Bobbie from SM. I knew you had lap-band surgery but just didn't really think about it until I saw you and Josie on here. I am just beginning in this journey. I went to my seminar and now have to go on the 6 month physician supervised diet and then hopefully insurance will pay for my surgery:thumbup: Wow 81 pound so far!! You are doing fabulous:thumbup::party:

Bobbie! I'm so glad to see you here!!!

Josie says: Now boys, don't get worried if your mommy gets all skinny, she'll still love you best.
