I'm a Sept 13, 05' bandster....I feel like I'm making really great progress and am becoming very comfortable with how the band should work.

Now that I have had 7 fills, I'm finally at the place I feel I need to be and can stay at this level for awhile. I've lost 60+ pounds and am told by almost everyone that I run into who hasn't seen me for a few months that I look ten years younger! Could just be my new short haircut but I'm hoping it's a combinatuon of both!

I've given away 4 large garbage bags full of clothes in the past two months that are now too big for me. My co-workers tell me I'm "melting" away! It's so funny to see several of them running around the office wearing my "huge" larger sizes...especially since none of them are even close to my old weight...the closest would maybe be within 50 pounds. They just loved some of the outfits I wore so are wearing them regardless of how baggy they are!!! I see it as a compliment.

I love my band more each day. It is literally saving my life! Whoo hooo! Sept. 05' bandsters...we rock!!! (Don't we?)
