My name is Christie and i am from Marshall Tx. i had my surgery on 3/22/2010. As of today i have lost 6 lbs. I am getting back to normal but the snack attacks are getting to me. I did however buy some rice cakes, babybel cheese and triscuits and chewed very slow but to pretty much liquify them. I am very happy about the procedure. Dr. Merriman from shrevport la did my surgery and i think he did a wonderful job. My husband has noticed a change in me but i haven't at this time. I am very much looking forward to the loss of weight. I walk everyday now about a mile and use my wii fit every night. There is so much that you can do as a working mom.:sad: I really think this is the best thing i could have done to save my life. If anyone would like to chat just drop me a note and i would be glad to get back with you and tell you about my experience as a one week down post op lap band patient. :blushing:
