Hi everyone my name is Monica and I was banded on Nov. 11th of 2006. I have lost a total of 18lbs so far. I have been chunky of my life really and having my daughters just added on the lbs. I have a 9yr old and a 17 month old. I am happily married and a stay at home mom. I love being able to stay home and take care of my babies. Well, I started researching wls about 1yr ago. I found that lap-band would be the best surgery for me. Of course my insurance wouldn't pay for it so I had to come up with the money. I ended up going to TJ Mexico and Dr. Huacuz did the surgery. He is a great personable doctor, I had no problems and was treating warmly by him as well as his staff.
So, I'm just beginning my journey. I am happy with my band so far and having my famlies support though all this is wonderful. Well, I will keep you posted on my weight loss. I started out at 240 and now I am 222. I am working hard and know that the band is only a tool, but a great one and I'm going to use it to the best of my ability. My goal is to lose 100lbs so I'm on my way.
