I'm not a Bandster but I have a tool as well....
My 2010 resolution is to continue using my tool correctly so I don't gain my weight back and I continue to stay healthy!
Happy New Year!

I'm in the get the information stage.
Any information regarding the diff. of Lap Band vs. Realize Band that you know of would be appreciated.
Also - how do I find out about meetings so I know which Dr.does which one? I've only been to the one at Miriam and have an appt with Dr. on 1/14... but think I'd be smart to check out more then one doc.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks all
For me, 2009 was a so-so year. It definitely had its ups and downs as it got off to a bad start, but seemed to get a bit better as it went on. For 2009 I am happy that I had the courage, support and inspiration to finally take the massive step to have my WLS. My wife was definitely my biggest supporter. My family and my in-laws have also all been extremely supportive of my journey. I have to say Dr. Roye is an amazing surgeon and I couldn't have been happier with my decision to have this with Dr Roye. As for saying goodbye to 2009, I am at my lowest weight since the 90's. I never thought that 335 pounds would feel so good!
As for 2010, i look forward to hitting my goal of 250 and going beyond! I am only 85 pounds away and since surgery on 10/15 I have lost 63 pounds so there is no reason the goal wont be obtained. Also I look forward to hopefully getting a new house (if our old one will finally sell). Most of all I look forward to another great year with the best wife any man could ever ask for and a much healthier life!
Once again, Happy New Year everyone! I hope its safe and prosperous!
Brian
