Hi, Bette, can't join in and post my photos as my ipad won't let me! They aren't as dramatic as yours as I "only" lost 109lbs. But from a US size 24 to size 10 (did get to 8 but that was too thin) shows a pretty amazing change! Maintained since mid-2007, with a couple of blips!

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,
Why would anyone attack you? I have been away a while...OUTSIDE PLAYING! But if this has worked and worked well for you FABU! I am so happy for you! And it is important that people know that it has. It worked for me for a long while. My situation is different and not the same as everyone elses. I have never figured out the mentality that because it didn't work as well as I would have liked for me, nobody should do it. Thanks for sharing. You look MAHVELOUS!
