I've been having lots of medical problems because of my weight. My body frame is 5'1 and I was weighing 175lbs. I've tried every diet and have been on a roller coaster with my weight for many years. I had a hysterectomy a couple of years ago and since I have been gaining weight and have not been able to lose it so I decided to look into the lap band surgery. Once I was told I was a candidate for the surgery I decided this was for me. I had my Surgery July 26th, 2013 and today is September 2, 2013. I have lost 18 lbs!! I have not had any problems, which I have heard horror stories about the surgery but I've been doing great. I'll go back to the doctor for my second fill on Wednesday. My first fill was fine no problems!! I'm on my way to hit my goal weight soon!!
