Hello, I'm still trying to figure out things on this website. I love reading about other folk's successes. I was banded on 11/19/08. Started out at 226 and I'm down to 202. I had reached 198, but the holidays hit! I have been easier on myself since I've read of other's battles. I started the 5-day pouch test today, so maybe I can lose the extra weight. I've had 1 fill and another scheduled for 1/22. I guess the thing that has surprised me the most is the emotional roller coaster this surgery has caused. One day I'm on top of the world and the next I'm wondering why in the heck I did this! But I look in the mirror or put on a sweater I haven't been able to wear in years and it's all worthwhile. Thanks for asking me to be a friend. I'd love to have someone to talk to. I have 4 friends in my church who have had lap band also. We actually have enough to have our own support meetings! Better go. Got a few chores to do before bedtime.:thumbup:
