Hello, MY name is Lolita and this is my story
I'm 34 years old 5'3 and weigh 277 when I first started my journey i weighed 290, I just had my lap band on nov,1st and that day I weighed in at 280 so i've lost 3pounds since then ,my first night home was bad I had a bad case of gas, but I'm okay now, I came home on 30days of lovenox to prevent blood clots and my husband has been real supportive with that he's been giving me my injections in the morning and making sure I'm okay before he goes off to work, the classes I had to take before getting the surgery(life skills) helped me lose the 10pounds prior to getting my banding, with just a few small changes, those classes really helped, but anyway in my family there are cases of diabetes,highblood pressure and all those scary sounding things that seem to attack your body when your my age and overweight that's what really prompted me to do what I did(surgery) I've been heavy all my life and it's never really been a problem,however just knowing I was at higher risk for developing diabetes and or high blood pressure, I felt it was time to do something, so I did and right now things are going fine, again I've only been home since thursday and today's saturday so in 2days I've overcome the worse case of gas in history, I got a good nights sleep and I've lost 3pounds, so I'd say I'm off to a good start, feel free to leave a message and good luck to everyone.
Lolita.
