Hi, Cathy! Banded 2-13-04 Lost 135 pounds, in 12 months I LOVE my band!

I was so glad to read how much you have lost and maintained. Because I have been getting so much slack about the band from friends and co workers. They all keep telling me I am going to be disappointed b/c the band does not cause you to loose a lot and most people do not keep it off. I just felt better knowing that there is someone out there that have lost 100lbs or more within a 12 month period and kept it off. I know there are a lot more than you and I am proud of each of you. How did you do it is the huge question!!!!

Honey, believe it or not, I simply followed the bandster guidelines, with water, protein, calories, plus makeing the best food choices, I could(most of the time)! ha  For me, limited exercise, because of my arthritis. it works, hon, be PATIENT! That's a BIG thing right there!
