Hello Fellow Bandsters,

I have been banded for 4 1/2 years and all I can say is I am grateful for my band because as the demons of life reappear as they always will my band helps me to wade through the damage control. I need to get myself back on path but I am happy to say where in the past the damage would be in the 60's to 100 lbs worth of damage. Now it was 30 lbs. Disappointed yes in myself to allow me to sabatoge my hard work and mindset but I just reaized how deeply rooted this element of obesity really is.
I promised that I would never see 200lbs again and that is something I can say I have held true.

Keep on trucking and know that you all inspire me and I need all of you

Best of luck,

Broom

Starting Weight 346.7lbs

Current Weight 199lbs

Goal Weight 150lb

I have had mine 4 years, 2 months and down 70 pounds. I have been struggling the past 6 months with eating the wrong foods and have put back on a little weight. I am looking for strength to get back on track and use my band wisely. Still the best decision I ever made, other than having my wonderful son!!
