I was banded on 11/17 and have been doing well. I'm Going for my 1st fill on Jan 17th. Can't wait!
Although I lost weight I havent bought anything new and have been wearing what I have. 
I usually shop at Lane Bryant and Fashion Bug but i got a gift card for Kohls so I decided to check it out.
I saw a cute pair of jeans so i decided to try them on.
Never buying jeans there or knowing what size i was, I took a 20 (my usual size) and and 18.
To my Surprise, the 18 were TO BIG!!
And the 16 fit PERFECT!
I was in shock and kept looking at the tag to be sure It wasn't mismarked! 
I can't  remember the last time I was in a size 16 pant nor not buying them in a specialty store.
I'm so excited!

Keep the faith everyone. The band does work. 
It just takes patience and alot of willpower but it's worth it!

Wonderfull! Isn't that a great feeling when clothes are too big? I am having WLS this summer. I can't wait! We are in Florida for the winter and I am so ready. I still have a lot of DR. appointments to get in when we get back.
I love reading the success stories! My DH was banded in Sept 07. He lost 130 pounds very fast. I hope it goes as quickly for me!
Keep up the good work! Maybe I will run into you sometime!

Isn't that an awesome feeling!  I have had to do the shopping thing a few times.  I will soon need to buy jeans for the third time.  I just bought 2 pair about 3 weeks ago and they are getting too big.

I shopped at Goodwill and Thrift shops for my DH because he was losing so fast!
