Allie2013

Hi Everyone - I'm 40 years old and since January 2013 I had pondered whether the band was the path for me. I decided it was after talking to a co-worker who had the band done a few years ago. I just got the band done May 22, 2013 and so far I am feeling great, I was obviously sore after surgery, to be expected after any surgery. I couldn't resist and I weighed myself at day 6 and had lost 6 lbs. I am very eager to hit the gym but I will wait to see what my doctor says. I love Zumba and racquetball. I want to live life to the fullest and play with my nieces and nephews and go and many fun rides and then start doing for myself. The challenge I am coming across is deciding who to share the news with. I'm single and very social with my friends and a lot of that was happy hours and eating out. How does one share their band experience with others? I don't want to feel embarrassed because I know it was the right thing to do.

I was pre-diabetic, high triglycerides and hypo-thyroid. Life is just beginning.
