I waited for 2 1/2 years to have  the band and will not fail!! I ,like most others have been chubby most of my life. It was after I had children that I became FAT. I never lost the baby weight between kids and was lazy and made poor choices. Now that I am getting close to "40" I know I need to make life changes. I need to be around for my children and one day grand children. I want to participate in their lives more. This band is helping me achieve allot of my goals. I have been married to Joe for 19 years. He of course does not have a weight problem and is athletic. We have 2 kids. My awesome son Tyler who is soon to be 13 and is athletic and my beautiful Daughter Tiana who will be 11. She to is athletic but is cursed with her mom's genes. I need to watch her closely. I will do anything for my DH, DD and DS. This band is as much for them as it is me.

7 months out....
on January 4, 2009 6:41 pm

So here I am 7 months out and still loving my band!! My weight loss is at a stand still. I weight 180 and have not moved. I did not get a fill at my Dec appointment, in fact I maybe getting an unfill on Jan 12th. I started getting a funny feeling below my left shoulder blade. I was told to slow down and chew really well and see if it goes away. Well it has not. In fact I sometimes now feel like I am getting a pain in the middle of my chest where I think my band is!! So I am pretty sure that he will take out 1cc as that's the comment that was made at my last appointment. That leaves my 1cc in my band and that scares me!!! I pray that I don't start feeling hungry again. I do have to admit that I don't exercise and my band has done all the work so far. I must know get moving and work off the last 10-15 pounds. I know I can.....

6 months out, wow!!

Boy does time fly. 6 month's ago I would have only dreamed of this life!!

 I never thought that I would have 15 pounds to lose! Although my weight loss has slowed down, I am still losing, I really can't complain. The last 2 months I have notice the slow down. I am down about 5.5 pounds down this  month. I eat everything except bread. I have had the odd hot chocolate and the occasional dessert. Life doesn't stop!!  I am still thinking of 170 as my gaol, I guess I will have to wait and see where the next 15 come off of!!

I still have the throat issue but I don't notice it as much,  I am learning to live with it. I will see my DR. on Dec 15. I am wondering if he will give me a small fill as I am still only 2cc in a 10 cc band. But I don't want to have any problems so I feel conflicted. After my one and only fill I lost 7 pounds in 7 days. I sure would not mind that boost again. I will post my pictures again,for some reason they are not uploading.

5 months out

Well, here I am 5 months out. My weight loss has slowed down but not stopped, Thank God!! I will post a few new pictures in the next day or so.

I am 190.4 pounds today, that is almost 10 pounds in a month.I am 20 pounds away from my first weight loss goal of 170. I think that is were I want to be. But I may change my mind once there.

In regards to my throat issues:All my tests have come back fine. God only knows what is going on with my throat since they can find nothing. I guess I will hope it goes away one day or I will live with it!

I still have 2cc in a 10cc band. I go back to the surgeon on Dec 15th. So maybe he will fill me then. But not if I am losing weight.

We are off to Florida from November 12-26th and I am hoping that all the walking I will be doing will help me drop about 10 pounds. Time will tell. My DH said I cant bring the scale! I guess I will step on one at the walmart when I am shopping...lol....

No fill for me!
on September 26, 2008 12:40 pm
I went to my surgeon on Monday and was scheduled for my second fill. I was surprised when he refused me a fill. He said that since I was losing weight at this rate he did not feel I needed one. I will admit I begged for 1/2 a cc. But he stood firm. So I still have 2cc in a 10cc band and really feel like the 2cc did nothing for me. I could have not even had a fill. The weight is still flying off, I hope it keeps up.I am 30 pounds from what I believe is my goal. But we all know how goals change!!
