Congrats on your weight loss! I had the gastric sleeve surgery last November. I made it to my goal of 140 in 6.5 months, lost a few more shortly after that. I am maintaining usually 134-135 since June. It's great to be off the meds and feel so much better! I'm so happy I made this decision. I'm healthier than I've been in my whole life!

Not sure how I am really doing, since I would still love to lose another 30+ pounds...but all in all...being a size 12 instead of a 22/24 aint that bad....
I still miss a nice sub sandwich now and again...as well as a cold Diet Dr Pepper...and sticky rice...and a salad....but..again...NO insulin and a size 12 aint that bad!
How about you other bandsters..how long has it been for you??

Congratulations on your weight loss and keeping it off for two years. I don't know personally how hard it is to accomplish what you have accomplished, but I have family, friends and patients who struggle with weight battles. Proud for you... You most certainly are an inspiration to those around you!
Just read all the other posts and was reminded of an app (a free one) that my cardiologist recommended... some of his patients told him about it... Lose It!
It has a lot of really nice features, most of which I still haven't figured out... but it's easy enough for even people like me (a "toron") to figure out :lol: You can sync it to your computer too. For those of you who are trying to lose you might check it out??
