1 yr already

Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary. I am very happy with my Band!!! I made the best decision for me and I am not looking back.

 I'm very proud of you. You look fantastic and I know that its not easy.My yr will will in Dec. I have been ina battle recently with hunger and cravings. I went astray and every day I start over trying harder. My visit to mydr. is coming up and I will get another fill. I got one last month and since then have been able to consume alot of food instead of the oposite. Congrats again and keep it up..

Thank you :-) i am glad you are seeing your doctor soon. I have had some hard times but i didn't beat myself up over them. I just kept on going. I don't know if i am truly in the sweet spot with band but i am definitely in the sweet spot in my head.

great job.

Great job! You look wonderful, and much much happier now!

 You Look AMAZING!! CONGRATS 

Great job, you look amazing. Happy bandiversary!

 You look amazing?  I'm scheduled for surgery November 22.  I was very excited and not at all nervous until I went to my primary physician today just for a routine checkup.  He was NOT AT ALL in agreement with the procedure.  He believes diet and exercise alone is the key to weight loss...my target is a 65 lb. goal with the lapband.   (Oh, I did not mention I have gained an additional 10 lbs. over the past 12 months while monitoring what I eat and exercise).   Now I'm concerned if I have made a good decision to have the surgery but then I read this forum and see the success individuals like you have made I feel confident.  Do you have any regrets???

No I do not have any regrets! Some people have said they regret not doing it sooner...I do not regret that either. I don't think I would have been as successful if i had done it any sooner. It took me 2 years to finally decide I was mentally ready. There is a big difference from telling yourself not to eat 5 slices of pizza and not being able to 5 slices of pizza. I read everything I could good and bad about all the surgeries and the band is what I decided was best for me. That's all you can do.  Good luck to you on your journey!!

Freakin' awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
