I weighed over 200 pounds for the past 25 years and I was so tired of being fat I decided to have the lapband done. I went to Dr. Kim Marley in Windber PA. On the day of surgery March 17, 2008 I weighed 260 pounds. I followed the lapband rules most of the time. I started out slow with exercise, when I first started I felt like I would not make it walking 10 minutes at a time. I kept pushing myself and within a years time I could walk for an hour at a time with no problems.15 months to the day after my lapband surgery I had a tummy tuck. I sit here now with the binder on and sore. Looking forward to healing and back to an active life. I weighed myself this morning and with the binder on I weigh 134 pounds. I have amazed myself.
