Well, this is week 6 of my lap-band journey. I had my first fill today and it wasn't bad at all. The most intense part of the experience was the prick to numb the area of the port. After that I didn't feel a thing. So far so good! I have lost 22% of my body fat (22lbs) and am feeling good. I just really have to kick it in to gear to get some exercise going.
Thanks to everyone on this site. I am on here a lot right now and this has become a support group for me. I am inspired by your successes and empathize when you stumble. It so helps to know that other people have ups and downs and just keep trying. That's my goal....to keep up the good fight....that and to be under 200 pounds and off all medication! I am excited by the possibilities!!:cursing:
Well the day has arrived and in 10 hours I will be banded! I am nervous, I am excited and I am hoping I am ready. I bought a bunch of vitamin waters, sports drinks, protein shakes and broths. I just pray I get through all of this safely and in good spirits!
I have only told one family member and I won't tell some of them until after the surgery as some of them would be too worried and would project their fear on to me!! I am trusting God that all will be fine. I have read so many blogs from other people about every step in this process. I look forward to joining the lap-band® family!!:thumbup:
