Well upon my visit in the fall of 2009, my PCP suggested I look into the lap-band. I am pre-diabetic and he said it is only a matter of time. I have dieted many times and have been on the diet rollercoaster. This year my mind is made up. I have decided to reclaim my life back and make it healthier. I have started the process and going to weekly meetings followed by weekly exercise through the hospital. On my own, I have really started since January and have lost a total of about 14lbs to date. It has been a slow and steady process but they say slow is good and it will stay off. The Doc likes to see that you are committed to lose the weight before he will even consider you for the surgery. I have changed my outlook and give myself little reminders all the time that I will succeed. I exercise daily and have the most wonderful husband who supports me. Im new to this whole website stuff so bear with me. I am looking to get some insight from people who have the band and find out how their journey has been. My last class is today and I am trying to get on the exercise class asap so I can keep the momentum moving forward.
