As of this morning, I have lost 100 pounds! That's 10 months and 4 days since surgery. Right on schedule.

When I started this process last summer by going to the information session, I had already decided that if I could lose 100 pounds, I would consider the decision to have Lapband surgery a success. My attitude changed the day I made the decision -- I became optimistic and hopeful because I was finally deciding to do something about my weight/health/life rather than continuing to sit around complaining about being fat.

By the time I had my consultation in September and then the actual surgery in November I was sure this was the way to go. I was right!

Having LapBand surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made (and believe me, I've made quite a few bad ones). My life has changed and continues to get better every day. Even with all the accompanying issues and problems I've run into over the last ten months, I would not change a thing except possibly to have done it sooner!

I am going to continue to work my band so I can lose more weight, continue to live a healthy lifestyle and live a lot longer.

BIKINI BODY, BABY! That's the new goal!
