In 2004 my life changed and food became my friend. One day in 2012 I took a look at myself and I needed to get healthy. On January 2012 and put forth my lapband surgery date on September 20, 2012.

My six month lapband journey was living with my lapband rules and new healthy eating with my one cup rule and exercise plan.

I was banded on September 20, 2012 at 210 lbs with a BMI 0f 37. I have lost about half per pound per week and I have maintained the one cup rule. Since I was the carb-queen I had to slowly eliminate all those carbs in my diet and I will say I am 95% carb free (no bread or corn). I have had 5 fills with a total of 8.5 cc in my 11 lapband and I am down 60 lbs as of 2/5/2014. I hope to be at goal on my 2 year date of 130lbs. I exercise between 60 mins a day-6 days a week.

I have no regrets with my lapband placement and I know that it is a tool and I must follow the rules for me to make my WL dream come true.
