Hi everyone - just joined this blog. I thought it would be nice to share my success story. 4+ years ago I had a phsycial. I asked my Dr.for diet pills. He suggested to me lapband, I was stunned!!! Did i really qualify for THAT surgery??? The next day I call the surgeon. They had me attend an information session. I was sold 10 minutes into the session. I had all the tests, and insurance approved it all and was scheduled in August of 2008. It was a breeze! Had the surgery on a Friday, left the hospital on Saturday and returned back to work on Monday. Had my first fill 5 wks later, still wanted to eat everything in sight. It wasn't until my 4th fill did my lbs start to fall off. I lost about 65 lbs the first 6 months, another 15 lbs by the end of the summer and now i have losta total of 100 lbs.
I am a different person! Not only do I look different I am so much more happier, I have the energy of 2 buffalo and my disposition is more pleasant. My youngest daughter said she loves doing things with me cause I am silly, more energetic and I can go for a long time!
Every day for the last 3.5 yrs someone says to me how great I look. My response after I thank them is how great I feel! The day I had my surgery was the beginning of my new life.
My husband of 32 yrs has begun his journey for lapband now. He is looking at early summer and we couldn't be happier! If anyone has doubts, relax, it's safe and your life will change dramatically! I'd be happy to answer questions if anyone has any!!
