One Year Anniversary

It is my 1 year anniversary and I'm SOOOOOOOO HAPPPY!!! I have lost a total of 100lbs! Wow is all I can say when I look back on my pics. I started at 319 lbs size 26 pants and 3x to 4x shirts I am currently 218lbs size 14 pants and XL shirt ( I have big boobs.lol) I'm so thankful for my band and it was the best decison that I made for me. The greatest gift is to have my life back happy and healthy!

congrats thats awesome !!!!!

awesome!!!

 How much weight did you loose prior to getting the lapband?  Also, what has your wieghtloss journey been like? 

During my pre op I lost 22lbs. My journey has not been easy or hard its been a trial and error. U have to learn your body all over again. I have not have any complications with the band AT ALL! people can say what they want I LOVE MY BAND

wow that's amazing.  How many ccs do you have in your band???  What kind of excersise do you do???  My 1 year anniversary will be February 16, 2012 and I've only lost about 35 lbs, I get so frustrated.  I'm sticking to the diet and I walk for 1 hour everyday.  I started at 208 lbs and now I weigh about 174.  Let me know what works for you...thanks...

Carol please keep in mind that hers is NOT the typical result! The band does NOT work for a great many of us. And for many that it does "work for" (meaning that they lose weight), it can often be b/c they have to keep it too tight so they can lose weight, and have frequent vomiting. So while some do lose a significant amount of wight with the band...........it's not always b/c the band is working properly, and it's not always a healthy situation for them!!!

You might want to research revision. Personally, if it were me, I would choose a DIFFERENT Dr. to do the revision though!!!

Good luck!
