I have uploaded new picture two from the day before surgery and one taken on 9/16.. This is amazing the weight is coming off very slow, but I am feeling better and getting around better. In fact I don't believe I have been this thin since getting married. 

Can't wait until next summer looking forward to doing things. I have never done before. Thanks to all who have given support. So far it has been great. Would do it again tomorrow.

Oh yeah....!!!!   Just three more pounds and I will be down a total of 60 pounds. Plan to post a new picture when the three pounds come off. Hoping by the end of the week.. My BMI is down from 51.4 to 45 love the lapband. Will keep you all posted.. xoxoxoxox.

I have been totally depressed because I have not lost any more weight. I called my doctor three times because I could still eat with out an restriction. I have an appointment next week to go in for a second fill in my band. Then today out of the blue I get a call from the doctor telling me he will have to move my date out a few weeks. 

The doctor told me he was at the hospital and that he need to cancel. Since I was only a few blocks from the hospital ask if I could come over today for a fill. He called me right back and yes I was on my way. This time I believe the fill was ajusted right. I can tell I have restriction and can't wait to start taking more weight off. Well today was good day will keep everyone posted. Please if you are reading send me an email and let me know how you are doing..

Well it's been few days since surgery on 5/14 of this month. I have already lost a total of 30 pound. WOW I would think I would be starving on what they gave me to eat first week or so. 

I did have one night when my wife brought me some soup was about to hurl from the smell. The night after that was depressed, because I was hungry, but could not have real food.

Well only 11 days until my life gets an overhaul. Today one of the gal's my wife baby sits for had her sister come an pick up her kids. Her name was Cindy she is just one year out after surgery and looked great. Of course I had no idea what she looked like before hand. I so want this outer transformation to be good.

Well the surgery needless to say didn't get off the ground on March 5th. I had seen heart doctor who told me I needed to go have a sleep study done. Well when I had the sleep study done I did not read up on it so I failed the study ( that was a dry joke) anyway. The sleep doctor found that I had severe sleep apnea and he put me on a machine. So when I when in to have the machine adjusted he ask if I could come back on March 5th.. Well of course I told him "NO" I will be having surgery on March the 5th and most likely will not feel like going any place. Well he put the skid's to that right away. No no no you can have surgery your oxygen levels drop below 60% when you sleep. So next think I know here it is May still no surgery. The good news is that May 14th I go in for surgery this time for real. The sleep doctor had my blood gasses checked and my lung capacity. So I am all good to go except the physical I need to take prior to the surgery. Plan on having that done next week.

Well I only have two weeks until surgery. Excited and bit scared. Plan on taking two days off from work for healing then work from home rest of the week. Hope I have allowed myself time to heal. 

I am very excited I have one week to go before I get a date set. The doctor thinks I should be able to have surgery done by the end of the month. Wish me luck..!!
