Still working my band
I am loosing inches right now more than pounds.Everyone is complimenting how much it looks like i have lost lately,scale not doing much but I also can tell I am loosing inches.I am going to the gym for a hour and a half at least 5 days a week if not 7.I do 7.5- 9. miles and weights.I have some restriction more on somedays.I have been really hunry the past 2 days.I go for a upper gi and fill on May 13.I love my band.I am feeling better now.If I dont make it to the gym I feel kinda crappy.I did not go tonight because we are having storms and my youngewst is afraid to be home with out me,I will have to go on the weekend to make up.My husband is gone for work for 6 months,he will try to come home every other weekend if he can,Its a 8 hour drive one way so we wont see much of eachother.Its nice not cooking,kids are easy to feed.Now I can go to gym more on weekends,he does not like it when i go on weekends since theat is the only time we have together.My son Graduated May 17th.I feel old,when he turned 18 a couple of weeks ago it was hard.I hope everyone is doing well,please check in, I love to chat,and see how you are doing.If you can tell I am trying to grow my hair out.

You are an inspiration! I saw Dr. Obrien at the beginning of april for my consult and I am having my insurance stuff submitted next week. So, Im guessing that if all goes as planned, I will be having surgery in no time. I currently weigh 300 and Im hoping to lose a minimum of 100 lbs and I was beginning to think that nobody with a band lost over 60 lbs. So, Im so happy to hear that there are people who do! Im really excited to get the band b/c I had a surgery date for RNY about 4 years ago and backed out because I was scared. I would love to hear from you sometime if you could email me at dustycarly429@yahoo.com or dakotafamily1@aol.com. I would love to learn more about your experience and about Dr. Obrien.
Thanks!

I went thought it 2 years ago with my daughter (she will be 20 end of this month) and it is hard to let them go.
