I'm 5'10" weighed 245 at the beginning of July. Banded on July 29, had first fill on September 22. Have been consistently dropping since the fill and am thrilled to death with the results so far. Very small amount of hunger, and as the weight is coming off, it makes you even more excited to keep truckin'!!! You can see in my signature where I'm at n ow. It's been a great self esteem booster. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CaraMBA09 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am getting so excited I will be getting banded on Oct 23 with Dr. Ortiz. Did the OCC help you decide on a goal weight? Or did you do that on your own.JOY3 I am 5"9 and never had a problem with weight until I hit 28 and then my metabolism changed after my first child. I was banded at OCC 3 weeks ago (at 214 lbs) and have lost 12 lbs so far. I have noticed a huge difference in inches as well and how things are fitting. For myself, I remember a very long time ago being 135 lbs and being very happy at that weight. That is my personal goal. The first few days will be rough, you have to mentally break old habits, but you will do it if you want it bad enough. It will be the best thing you have ever done. Be sure to follow ALL the instructions and you will do just fine. All the best to you and keep us posted C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Thanks so much for your responses. It helps to know where I need to be weight wise. I have been fairly small like size 3/4 until my just before my second child. I really want to get back to that size. With hard work anything is possible! You guys are great keep up the good work!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
