Hi,My name is MOONLITE.  I've been heavy my whole life.   up and down. 1 time I lost 110lbs about 25 years  went from 262 to 150.    I'm getting this lapband because of my health... I have pain in my knee's and back.   this weight has to come off.   Even though I've been heavy most of my life, I never stopped doing the things I love.   I  would call myself a world traverler.   I love to swim, I've been swimming with the dolphins twice.  parasailing, snorkling, I know I looked terribble in a suit.   But remember Life is to short.... Enjoy your life..............I have 3 kids and a husband I need to live for.I'm a little nervous about getting it done ..... the day is oct. 21,2009.   My family doesn't know ... they would say you don't need it.... It's going to be hard not having support...... about the diet... I hope my cravings will stop and I'll feel full.   I keep telling myself....6 wks till you can eat a little bit normally.My friend had it done, but it didn't work.   I hope mine will work, I'm very determined to lose the weight to feel healthier.  I'll continue my story later.WELL IT'S FEB. 24TH AND I HAD MY 3RD FILL...... SINCE THE SURGERY ON OCT 21,2009, I ONLY LOST 10LBS.... BEFORE THIS 3RD FILL. I COULD STILL EAT SO MUCH THAT I NEVER FELT FULL.... NOW I CAN ONLY EAT 5 BITES AND I FEEL PAIN IN MY CHEST AND BACK AND FEEL LIKE THROWING UP.. I DO HOPE THIS FEELING GOES AWAY... I REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, BUT I HAD THE FEELING YOUR FULL UP TO YOUR THROAT WHERE YOU CANT TAKE ANOTHER BITE......FORGET DRINKING  WITH FOOD OR 2 HRS AFTER. PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR STORIES......THANKS, HAVE A GREAT DAY.... MOONLITE
