About Me

  • Gender
    Female
At 48, and with hypertension and diabetes, it was time for me to become pro-active about losing weight and get off these pills.  I have been heavy all my life, and gained 40 pounds when I quit smoking in 2007.  I have never had the willpower to follow through on diets for any length of time.   It was never permanent for me.  I decided on the Lap Band because I needed a tool.  Today, I am 72 hours post-op, and quite miserable.  I have nausea and pain.  I can't take the pain med because with nothing in my stomach, it causes intense nausea and dry heaving.   Despite that, I am feeling hungry, did'nt  think I would.  I know that the misery will be less and less with each new day.
