Just wanted to share. Today I am 2 yrs post-op. I have learned so much and continue to learn all the time. I am so glad I had the lap-band done. I would do it again in a minute. No regrets. I feel wonderful! I just love wearing a size 6 to 8 jeans, hell I love wearing jeans and not double knit pants!! LOL!!

I also want to thank my Illinois familt for all the support I have recieved here! You are all great!!!

Love Ya All

Karen

Dave, I am still losing just at a stall for the moment! Yes sometimes i still try to eat way too much and run for the closest place to let it all come back up! It isn't as often though.  Still learning what 1/2 cup really is, especially when it's a favorite food!

Happy anniversary my friend,
What a great day for you.  Do you even remember what it was like before. I'm so glad for you and I'm happy we got connected. You are an inspiration and a joy.

Ya know I have a funny story about remembering before, I was shown some pictures at a family picnic about 3 yrs back. I was looking at them and I came across one and I thought who's that. I kept looking because she looked familiar but just could not place her, DUH it was me!!!LOL So no I am forgetting the big me, but I have to remember her because if I don't I will be her again!
