Ok everyone how is everyone.  If you are a September Sumurai please check in!!!!

My name is Asia and I live in Hawaii.  I had surgery on Sept. 9 and doing great.  I am down to 147 lbs which is total lost of 93 lbs.  My BMI is in the normal range for the first time in my life.  I was in a size 24 now I can fit into a size 8 jeans.  This is such an amazing ride.  I am able to run now, tie my shoes without holding my breathe, stay on my feet for long periods of time.  Here are some pictures taken at 5.5 months out.

Asia, Anyone told you that you have a cute butt?  :)

You have done amazing.  You have been one of my heros since I started coming here.  You have shown that you can still really have a life after this surgery!  You look amazing!!!!!!

OK, not a September Sumurai but thought I would chime in anyway.

Wow that is awesome expecially since banding is the hardest surgery to lose weight.  You are going to be your surgeons star patient.  Keep up the great work.  Whoever said that it takes a bandster 3 years to get to goal hasn't seen you work this tool!!!!

Good for you!!!

I am able to fit some XL tops - WOW!
Pants are a different story - I am having a bit of trouble finding pants that don't split the apron.
