SV at almost my one year Bandiversary

I am just so darn happy with myself I had to share it. I was banded on January 24th, 2006. It is now December 10th, 2006. I have so far been able to lose 69.5 pounds of lard. I am 5.5 pounds away from my one year goal of losing 75 pounds in a year. I started at 316.5. I am currently 247. I WILL be 241.5 by the one year mark. One year ago I felt hopeless. I now have all the confidence I need to go into the second year and lose my next goal of 81.5 pounds for 2007. I have already interviewed three plastic surgeons and am just waiting on getting to at least the 170 pound mark to have my first surgery, the girls are getting an extreme makeover. Our one years are coming up. I hope we all are happy and healthy for this new year!!! Sandra

Congrtulations Sandra It's nice to hear from a bandster for a change and that you are having success after your surgery. Most of us around here have had RNY. Good to hear that others are doing well too. Sending hugs, Ronna

You go girlfriend!!!! Congratulations on your success!!! Hey, I got banded as well and I am interested in PS as well, can you let me know the price of getting the gals done. I'd appreciate it. I want to get an estimate of how much this is going to set me back. I want the girls to be done first, then a possible face lift and then the very last the TT. I will wait on the TT because I am still single and haven't had kids yet, so who knows. Anywho, congrats on the weightloss!!! Keep doing a great job!!! Kelli

Congrats Sandra! That's totally Awesome!!!!
