Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Work it girl.... I'm so glad the fill and the band is working out for you. You're doing remarkably well. I hit the 65 lbs mark this morning. I gotta go to GVegas on Tuesday for a followup appointment that has been rescheduled twice already.

Have a great one. Hope you had a great Turkey Day.

Hi Melissa,

It looks and sounds like you are doing just great.

Keep up the good work,

Melissa
Congratulations on the weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
You are doing very well. I think the periods of not losing are typical. I hope to have the lap band end of December, first of January. I talked to someone who said she would go 2-3 weeks and not lose and then like you drop 4-5 pounds. She has slowed down now but she said you just have to be patient.

What a gorgeous transformation, Melissa!  Are people having trouble recognizing you?  I swear you banders are getting astounding results in short periods of time...I'm so happy for you!  Enjoy life, no matter how hectic, and good luck for lots more success.  {{{Hugs!}}}

thanks so much for all the compliments.
for some reason people are noticing this week.
it must have something to do with the 8 inches of hair thats gone .
im struggling trying to find clothes to wear. i refuse to go out and buy anything. my goal is to lose 8-10 pounds per month. so far im doing that.

thanks again
