Thanks for the reply. I wish you are the luck on this new journey, that is how I feel about my lap-band. You are headed of me with the walking. I have been waiting for the weather to get nicer. (here in Kansas) Texas is
warmer than here. If you have any questions I will be glad to help. A year ago I weight the same amount as you. I had lost some before I was banded. But it was due to losting my husband in April of last year. But he would have wanted me to have the surgery and take care of myself. Good Luck
