I was banded on August 19, 2008. I have been overweight all my life. Well I just resistly went thru a divorce. I was depressed and I gain all my weight back that I had lost from the diet I was on this time. When I started out I weighed 278 pounds. The day of my banding I was at 271, and I have been doing great. I am so happy I had this done. I feel so much better and am so positive on the changes this is going to do in my life. At my last doctor's visit I was down to 241.6 (loss 37 pounds in 9 weeks). I will not go back to the doctor for another 7 weeks, after the Thanksgiving holiday, but I am positive that I will be fine over the holiday. My biggest accomplishment from the surgery is, I was a heavy soda drinker. I would drink sodas from the sun up til sun down. And the day of my surgery, I quit drinking soda (cold turkey). I am so proud of myself for that. I will keep everyone posted on my progress. Thanks for listening. Sandra :-h
Tomorrow it will be 4 months since I was banded. I have lost 51 pounds so far. I feel great and I am still drinking just water, no soda's for me. I am going to Curves for Women 5 days a week, and the inches are just falling off. I would recommend this procedure to anyone. When I went back to the doctor last thursday, I weighed 227. I plan to keep going. Good luck to everyone else.

I was addicted to Diet Coke also, but I was banded on 8-19-08. The day before my surgery was the last day I had a Diet Coke. I quit cold turkey, and I don't miss them at all. I thought it would be hard, but once you make up your mind you can do it too. I drank Diet Coke from morning to night (all day long), for the pass 30 years. So you can do it. Good luck. Sandra
