"Re" introducing myself

 Hi everyone

I'm not on much these days because I'm busy with life mostly but also because things were very negative for a while and some days I found more discouragement than encouragement.  

I've posted some pictures to my profile so you can see my progress.  When the last pictures were taken I had lost a total of 87 lbs.  I had a bad "stuck" episode shortly after and had to have a complete unfill. For some reason I thought I could eat ribs!!  (Not a good idea!)

I have gained 12 lbs but am back on track with exercise and one more fill should get me back to where I need to be as far as restriction goes.  

I'm not a poster child for any kind or type of surgery but so far, so good for me.  None of us know what may happen in the future but I can tell you this band has given my life back to me.  

My husband and I celebrated out 15th anniversary this year in Cancun.  I didn't look like a Victoria Secret model, but I felt totally comfortable in my tankinis.  We ride a motorcycle.....I wear chaps (size S.)  I own jeans in a size 8.....I wear tank tops and VS bras!  I danced on a bar called "Hawgs and Honeys"  I'm not afraid to try anything once.  I don't keep an idea or opinion to myself because I don't want to call attention to size if I'm in a group meeting.  

So much has changed.  I feel like I'm the person I used to be but no longer hidden by 90 lbs of fat!

I hope this my put some fears at ease...I've read the stats on the band, so far its working for me. 

Good luck

Thanks for sharing!!

I love Cancun .. actually the Rivera Maya so I can go between Cancun and Playa De Carmen.

Things can get negative around here.. but sharing your story and what the band has done for you helps create a positive spin on things for people who just had surgery or are thinking about it.
