Living My Dream

It has been almost 2 years since I had lapband surgery (January 2008) I am so happy with my decision to have lapband despite the huge expense. I paid $15, 000 out of pocket since we don't have insurance coverage where I live. My husband also had the surgery, August 2008. We have both lost about 76 lbs each and have about 15 to 20 more lbs to lose. We feel so good with our slow weight loss. Our health has improved tremendously, especially my husband. I can shop in regular clothes stores and buy wonderful styles that show off my new curves. I wish I had done this 20 years ago. I am amazed at how well it has worked for me at 59 yrs old. I am going to Curves and trying to make healthy food choices consistently. I don't have to worry anymore about overeating or feeling hungry. My band looks after that quite nicely. I feel 20 years younger. I love the compliments I get from friends and family. I love not regaining the weight I have already lost. I love, love, love my band.
