Today is my 6 month bandiversary. Well i weighed myself this morning and am happy to say that i am 155 putting me only 10 pounds from goal! I'm so happy. i never thought i'd see 175 again much less be steadily heading for 145. My size 10;s are getting loose and i've begun buying 8's. There was a time i'd have given anything just to get into a 12. Not to mention i'm now off my diabetic medication and all of BP medication besides a water pill. I no longer am so tired that i need a nap everyday. I have so much more energy. I no longer run from the a camera or get depressed at the site of a mirror. My mom would be so proud of me!! My children are always telling me how great i look and how proud thet are of me. So for anyone considering having the band or any other WLS all i can say is do your research find a good doc. If you do what you are supposed to it can work!! Good luck to everyone and thanks for letting me brag a little. I know i love reading about all your successes as well. Thanks:thumbup:
