Hope for Newbies . . .

The summer of 2003 was about the time I decided that having WLS, specifically Lap-Band, was right for me. And when I have a hard time re-finding my focus, or get down on my saggy skin, etc., I like to remind myself where I was then and how far I've come. I'll never be done; I am always a work in progress.

I have been staying away from this forum for months, but I think that some of you newbies need a glimmer of hope in the darkness. THIS IS FOR THEM, although I am sure that the negative attacks will start as soon as I hit "submit."

If new folks need help, support or suggestions, please PM me, as I will not be posting here on any kind of a regular basis.

Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.

Hi Bette-

Great to see you post-I believe that the "Newbies" do need to see some hope and some balance in perspective. Hope that you are doing well in all things- not just your weight loss journey.

Nana? Have I missed something? Bette is NOT Nana. And I am pretty sure SusansJourney isn't either.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

Bette isn't Naomi, two very different people. Bette is farrr more normal. She does not use fake IDs, she did lose weight, she did do well. Bette is one of the real vets from OH band boards.
