OK August 05 Bandsters. Come out, come out, wherever you are! 
I want to hear from you if you are successful! I want to hear from you if you are struggling, too!
I feel a whole lot better with the weight I've lost so far. It's certainly nothing to sneeze at.
I stalled for almost a year -- my fault, I should have gone in for another fill but didn't, then we adopted our son and that was a stressful time. Just got adjusted to that and then he had surgery, more stress. And then it was time for the holidays... anyway, I made lots of bad eating choices in the past year.
Well, I got my fill and I'm doing a LOT better now. Eating the way I should, working my way through
The Beck Diet Solution (highly recommended if you are struggling - it's not a diet, it's coping strategies for people trying to lose or maintain their weight).
Anyway, I wish I were here to be an example for people just getting banded of how it's so easy to get to goal and stay there, but sorry, you're out of luck.
I'll have to settle for being an example of how you need to stay on top of getting fills, exercise and work on the head stuff.
And hopefully, an example of how the band is always there when you're ready! There's no "window of opportunity" that says you have to lose all your weight in one straight shot.
Anyone out there from Aug 2005? How ya doin?
