I can't believe that we are almost up to a year since we had the surgery. Is anyone planning to do anything for this special occasion? How much has everyone lost? How was everyone doing?

Let me start I did the surgery Oct 6 08 and have lost 120lbs. I have no special plans as of now for that day but maybe dh and I will try to go out to eat. I have such a hard time eating so well maybe I just will make something special for supper that night. I am feeling like a totally different person I can't believe that I could feel this good. I have had some rough patches but I can't complain when I have really lost this much weight. I hope to hear from everyone else. :sad:

Wow! Congrats to you all!

I hadn't really thought about my bandaversary this year except that I'm going back to my trainer to have new measurements done...that will be fun for a change!

NEXT year, I'm planning to go to Hawaii to Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary...in late September...so that is my big goal.

I love to hear what you all are doing! (maybe I'll get glamour shots done for dh's Christmas present...hmmm...)

Oh! I just realized I'll be in Florida on a "work" vacation with dh on my bandaversary! Fun!

My bandiversary is on October 2nd and as its pointless to celebrate by eating i am going to buy a killer dress and hit the town with my friends. This may not be that different from any other weekend apart from i will really take notice of how amazing i feel now compared to one year ago!

We have the same bandiversary date!!!

I am getting my band re-filled on 10/6! That's my celebration. :scared2: I was way too tight on 9/18 and had to have my liquid removed...emergency trip to the ER. Stress at work and upcoming flight out of town made my Dr. decide to remove all restriction.

You are doing so great!!! Congratulations!

I'm pretty proud of my 65 lbs, too. I feel great. I just bought 2 pair of SIZE 14 jeans at lunch today! That was an awesome experience!

Well DH bought me an hour long massage with hot stone therapy in June for my birthday and I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I think I will for my Bandiversary.

My best friend will be going away for the weekend after my bandaversary. We will be visiting an Amish area. I am looking forward to some beautiful fall days!

My bandaversary was Oct. 8th. I didn't do anything except make me a 'progress' picture. I've lost 70 pounds.

I need to decide what my next goal is and get motivated to get the rest of this weight off!

It truly has been a remarkable year and I'm so glad I made the decision to get this band! I went to the seminar to encourage my husband and ended up signing up too! :sad:

It's been great having someone to go through this with me.

Hasn't this been great! Keep loving life and working the band!

It's been a wonderful experience. My overall health is so much better than it has been for many years. Somehow I have trouble believing that I am a senior citizen because I feel so healthy. I am wearing the same size clothes my 36 year old daughter wears.

Yet, there is a small voice in the back of my head saying "Will this last or be like the other times you have lost weight and regrettably found it again"? I hope it will last. I think it will last. I know it will last!
