After way too too long of a battle with weight I've tossed around the idea of surgery as an option. After doing much research I've decided on lapband. I've gone from being nervous about it, afraid it might be just one more wasted effort to now being excited about it. I think half the battle was deciding to do it. Now you could say... I'm ready, willing and able to get it done. Just waiting to set a date for surgery! And I look to this as my season 4 change. Now it is 10 weeks post surgery and I'm so happy I had this done. I was able to get through the holidays without gaining one pound, in fact lost weight! I've lost 58 lbs including my presurgery diet and I'm walking on my lunch breaks even in the cold! Dr. Edward Pucci and his staff are wonderful. I highly recommend him. I haven't had a fill yet, so far I'm doing well without one but will be going in for a check-up this week, so we shall see. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss journey!
