I was banded on 7/20, and have almost lost 50 pounds (including 2 week liquid diet) I went on a trip to Boston this weekend and walked around all day. It was the first time in a long time I wasn't worried about how I looked, about not being able to walk too far, or feel uncomfortable. I had the BEST day. I'm sooo happy I was banded!! I have about 100 pounds left, but my life is already transformed:)

Congrats..that is great!!! I will be banded tomorrow and I can not wait for my transformation to begin...I have lost 15 so far during my 2 week pre op diet...Good luck !!!

Yippee! I can't wait until I can walk a lot. Between my bad legs and my breathing problems, I can't walk much yet but I'll get there someday. I'm so happy that you had a nice day and they will only get better as the weight comes down.

I totally feel the same way!! Congratulations on all of your success! There are so many more good things to come!

Thanks Ladies, and good luck to all of you:)

Congratulations! I know how you feel. I was banded April 22, 2009 and I have lost 50 pounds. I feel great! I have about 40 pounds to go. My life has completely changed for the better. I haven't felt this good in quite a long time. I would get banded again in a heartbeat. No regrets AT ALL! :mad2:
