It has been a year since I got the lapband and am now almost on my goalweight. Size 10 jeans, going towards size 8 and a size 12 to 14 top. Am so happy. It's not as easy as people think. Can't eat a lot of my favourite food but have discovered ways to still indulge once in a while, a bit of chocolate and a bit of pizza (usually 1 ever 6 months a small piece) it's just for the taste of things. Yep I'm restricted but I can walk into a shop now and grab a nice top or pair of pants of the rack. I have a new found confidence and bounce in my step. It's amazing the transformation from being unhealthy and overweight with a 32.5 BMI to a 23 BMI and a healthy weight. Not as tired, can now jump out of bed instead of dragging myself. The only down side now is that certain male friends now find me attractive, but didn't thinks so before I was slim. How shallow are they. But I'm happy with myself and I can now look in a mirror and like what I see.
