I have a consult for lap band tomorrow (05/23/08) in Oxford, MS. I have been on the pre-op instructions (no sugar, clear liquids and 3 SlimFast Optima per day) and have lost 15.8 lbs in 5 days. I have been researching on the web all week. Your photos and story have given me the most encouragement of anything I have seen. I'm starting out at 295. I'm 52 years old. My family is very supportive of this and I work for a physician (Internal Medicine) who supports me in this also. I have two sons (33 and 23) and two grandchildren (6 and 8). What do your boys think about your journey?
This is me Christmas 2006. This is my cat Hobo. We adopted him when someone left him in his cat carrier at the dump. What type of a person would do that is beyond me but I love this crazy cat.
