Hi Ladies, I was banded by Dr. Schmitt, Oct 29 2007. If there are any questions I can help any of you with just ask. I did the whole program with them. I live in Dothan, so I had quite a commute. Good LUCK!!! Connie:thumbup:

Hi All!!! I have been away from the board for a while. Just a busy summer. Weight loss is slow but steady. 63 lbs since Oct. 29 2007. I had hit a plateu for about 4 weeks, then this past week 4 lbs down. Over all I am pleased with the weight loss, could be a little faster if I could rev up my exercise program, but due to a heart problem I am limited to what and how much I can do. See you guys later.....GOOD LUCK to all!! Connie:thumbup:

I absoultly agree with you!!!, There is a lady here near where I live that 2 weeks after surgery ate KFC fried chicken and had to go to the emergency room to have it removed and she couldent understand the problem. Talk about issues. HELLO!!! Follow the rules!!! Connie

Crispy2, You said it.... I finally learned the HARD SLIMY way bread and pasta dont do it for me any more. And after my family harped at me about rushing to the bath room or garbage can, I just dont do it!! I work with my band now. Some of us are just hard headed!! Connie

Hi All, May 29th will be 7 months for me. Its been slow but steady. To date I have lost 50 lbs. A pound here 3 lbs there. I am completely happy. I get stuck every now and then, and I have decided breads and starches dont work for me as they usually cause a P.B. episodes. So I do meats and veggies. I sure feel better. I have decided I need to join a local support group as it will keep me motivated. Good luck to all !!! Connie:thumbup:

:rolleyes2:I dident NOT tell any one about my Lap Band. Most people do not even know the difference. And now that it's noticible with my slight weght loss, I just say it was much safer than Gastric By-Pass even though its much slower, and leave it at that. C/C:tt2:
