Hi Jamie! 66 lbs in 6 months is terrific! Keep up the great work! Happiness that makes you cry is the best.

I found this site 6 months ago when I began looking into the Lap Band, and I'm so glad I did. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 10 and I'm not sure I would have been convinced it is the right thing for me without reading and listening to all of the stories that the wonderful members of LBT have shared!

I can honestly say I've done enough research to make the decision and am more convinced than ever!

But, back to your wonderful news.... you deserve to do something special for yourself to mark this milestone.

Well thanks Christina but I had lost 13 of the 66 in Febuary2005 right before being banded... so actually I've lost 53 pounds since being banded on March 18th 2005...thats an average of about 8.8 pounds per month for 6 months. Total weight lose average over all in 7 months time 9.42 pounds per month. still happy with that for sure but I didn't want that 11 pounds a month you gave me to look to good LOL!!! Over all i'm proud of my weight loss thanks for all your suport!!

CONGRATULATIONS Jamie!!

It really is a milestone, isn't it? Every ten pounds now is going to make SUCH a difference in the clothes you can wear.

I noticed your goal is 150. That was mine too when I started, but it felt so good to get under that 200 mark that I decided JUST FOR FUN to challenge myself to get under the 150 spot on the scale. Of course I may never get there and honestly I could be happy at 160 (I've maintained there before for long periods) but it would be nice to experience the thrill of a halfway decent ass again. And possibly that's the biggest drag of maintaining--you don't get that THRILL of pounds down.

Anyway--good for YOU!

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!!

Congratulations Jamie! Being under 200 pounds seems so far away for me. I am 285 right now. I haven't been under 200 in about 18 years. Share your secret to all the new banders. You give us all hope.

      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.

      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!!
