Checking in 3 Yeah BandAversary

Just wanted to take a moment from my day to give an update. I had my Surgery 04/04/2011 and am still doing fantastic. I am Maintaining at goal and can't be happier. I lost 105 lbs and then gained back 20 lbs. after a slight decrease in fluid in my band. I am comfortable where I am at even with the 20 lbs.

I guess what I can say at this point in my life is that I am finally where the number on my scale and the size of pants and shirts I am wearing don't consume me and I am loving that.

Yes my band is a pain in my ass some days, but at least my ass fits in size 8 jeans. :) 

LOL - you looked hot before and you look hot now, you sexy b*tch!  It's always great to see a positive story in here!

Well done! I know there are horror stories out there but it is always good to remember that there are successes too!

Congratulations

WooHoo! You look wonderful. The band is a pain sometimes but I would not give up my band. Keep up the good work. Mona

 I am in the process of getting approved for the lap band surgery. it is what I am the most comfortable with since it does not involve slicing up your intestines. Anyway, I am wondering what you mean when you say the band is a pain sometimes...  Can you explain?  

Thanks ! 

Monica

Great job!!!!

I am scheduled to have the Lap Band procedure on 6/24.  I am starting to freak out and wonder if I should get the gastric sleeve instead.  If you were to do it over, would you do the band again?

Mine's scheduled for 6/30 and I feel the same way! I knew that less people got the Band than the sleeve, but was shocked to read so many horror stories. I wonder if it's the right choice...or if the success stories are just too busy enjoying life to write about it!
