Third Anniversay of my surgery, October 17ty.  My goal was 155.  I am staying between 148 - 150.  I feel good.  I am still off all medications.  I can eat, within reason, what I want.  Sometimes I have trouble with pasta and bread and sometimes they are okay.  Once in a while I'll drink a coke, not as good as I remember!! haha  My day does not focus around food and I am loving that!!  I eat when hungry not just because!!  I am going back to the doctor for a check up and I understand now they are doing upper GI to make sure everything is okay.  I am looking forward to that.  I do wonder how my insides are......

This surgery has changed my life.  I look in the mirror and I like who I see.  I don't feel like people stare at me.  I enjoy going out. I enjoy dressing up.  I enjoy shopping.  I still enjoy going out to eat.  I have learned I don't have to eat everything and I still have a good time. I focus on people, places not food!!  Wish I had found this years ago, however, I am so happy with my surgery and would do it again in a minute.

Good luck to everyone, may your journey be pleasant and healthy!!

I am so thankful I have my lap-band.  Wish I had done it years ago.  Would not have gone thru the yo-yo diets and the many attempts and just making myself feel worse than when I started.  Anywho......I am down 90lbs and feel great!  I am off all medications and my CPAP!!!  People don't recognize me that haven't seen me in awhile and that is kinda fun.  Shopping for "normal" size clothes is fun!!  Not being limited to were I can shop and trying on a size and needing a smaller one!! Woo Hoo

It has taken two years for my head to catch up with my lap-band.  I don't get excited about going out to eat or getting together for a "family dinner"  However, I do enjoy getting together with everyone at these occasions and being the one that talks alot!!  haha  Not so focused on the plate in front of me.  Learning to eat till I am full and taking the rest home for the next day!

Thanks lap-band, doctors, nurses, nutrientist, staff, and my family for the support and courage to do this.

Went back to the doctor, July 24th.  Have not been since October 17.  Weight 181 on October 17.  Friday I was at 166.  Got a little fill.  I was nervous and the room started swimming.....funny!!  I have had a fill before!  Don't know why I was nervous.

I am excited about my weight loss.  My eating habits are not as strick and therefore I am not losing as quickly but I am losing and glad of it!!  I feel more tired lately than normal.  Not sure what is going on there.  If I don't feel better soon I am going to see my general doctor. 

Everything is great with my lapband.  No problems.  Wish I had done it years ago!!

Went to see the doctor today.  Was told I have 5cc in a 10cc band.  Got another fill.  Blood pressure was good.  I was down 15 lbs. since my last visit, 8 weeks ago.  I am good with that!  I have gone off one of my blood pressure medicines.  I only take one pill a day!  YEAH!  My weight is 188. Down 70lbs. total.  Feeling good.

Went to see my doctor on June 11.  My blood pressure was low. 90/60.  I have lost 7.5 lbs in 8 weeks.  Everything is going great.    Made an appointment to see my general doctor.  He took me off of one of my blood pressure medicines!  Yeah!  I am only taking one pill a day for blood pressure and Zyrtec at night for allergies.  I am a happy girl!  Others have really started to notice my weight loss.  That sure helps keep me motivated.  Sure wish I could have done this years ago.

Went back to the doctor on April 16, 2008.  All my vitals are good and I have lost 7 more pounds.  I got my fourth fill and rescheduled for eight weeks.  I don't want to get to tight and feel my weight loss is steady.  Need to exercise!
Having a little trouble with fatigue.  Not sure what it is.  Going to watch what I eat.

I got my 3rd fill on March 5.  Boy, I can really tell a difference so far.  I am so glad.  My weight loss has been good so far.  I have got to exercise.  That seems to be the hardest thing for me to start!

Feeling good!

I got my lap-band on October 17, 2007.  My weight was at 255.  An all time high for me.  My surgery went great.  I had a few days of recovery that where rough but overall I thought things went well.

I have had two fills to date, 1/24/08.  I have lost 34 lbs.  This is one of the best things I have done for myself.  I know I will live longer and healthier.  No regrets with the lap band.
