Hello guys

I am on here always talking about much I failed at the band at first...then how well I did after I started to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. How much exercise has changed my life is hard to put into words...so I will show pictures

I was at the point of giving up with my Band then I decided to try again. If all has failed you have nothing to lose by giving it one last try...look what it has done for me!!!

I was 354 lbs in the first pictures...the second pictures I'm at 218 lbs!!! I have lost a total of 52 inches...which is more than 4 feet!!! I was a size 30/32 now I am a size 18. I still have about 50 more pounds to go...

Wow, great pic and what a transformation. I agree with the exercise as much as I HATE to do it, it's necessary! Continued good luck! You look wonderful!

Mari Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

Keep up the good work. You have finally "got it." The band does take a definite commitment to work. I also think not everyone can be successful with it. I am still trying to figure out why I have been so successful. There should be some kind of a survey for weight loss surgery. I think lifestyle and eating habits have a lot to do with success or failure and which surgery would be best. I don't do that much exercise. Yet the band works for me.
