Two years ago today

Just wanted to update, two years ago today I had my lap-band surgery, it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I have lost 120 lbs. and still losing, I would like to lose 50 more, slowly but surely I know I will reach my goal. For the people that are thinking about lap-band I say go for it,it has changed my life and I feel 20 years younger. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 16, if I can do it anyone can.

Jeanette,
Wow! That is fantastic! That is the reason I cant wait to get my band. I hope I can be as successful as you have been. Keep up the great work.

I'm sure you will do fine,just remember that you are doing this for you, not for your husband, kids ,parents or friends. You only have one life, live it to the fullest, be happy and heathly and love yourself.

Congratulations! Thank you for the inspiration ... can we see the before & afters?

I will get some pics on later today when my hubby gets home, I'm not sure how to upload them.

i am the same, loss 35 lbs in two years. I feel like a failure. from a 28 to a 18/20. I am so depressed, andy tips or help?  Discouraged. How did you do it withthe band... I am begining to regret.

Hey, I am from Texas too, from Corpus Christi, I have lived in Ohio for 25 years but I'm still a Texan at heart.Hope you can get back on track, have you been getting your fills, working out, I walk on the treadmill 2 miles 3 times a week, and I eat what I want just a small amount, Like I said, if I can do it so can you.

I think you probably need a good fill and get back to the band basics.  start all over again under the doctors guidance.  you can do it . 

Hello just found your post and my name is Donna I had the lap bad done about 2 yrs ago and have not lost a great amt of weigh either,. I would say 50 at the most and that is not alot compared to what you have to go through.
I would love to chat with you and see what each of us is doing. I sometimes have regrets also. thinking just get it out and I could at least eat some of the foods I cannot now..I am very depressed with the whole thing.

I am in NH and I would love to hear from you. Please email me and I promise to write back as soon as I hear from you. There are so many things i wonder if you go through.
THanks and will be waiting to hear from you. My email address in [email protected]

120 lbs! That's amazing! Good for you!! -Nikki
