My weight was ballooning out of control. I was 130 pounds overweight and going strong. I tried the usual diets and would gain the weight right back. I was miserable and did not want to leave my house. I felt self concious and miserable. My health was becoming a problem with high blood pressure and breathing problems and I knew I had to do something. So I researched the bariatric surgeries and decided that the band was the best way for me to go. I went to the doctor in July and he sent me to several specialists to get tested and I had my surgery on 10/5/09. After my first appointment with my doctor the dieticin suggested that I start practicing to change my eating habits, so I did. I am now down 40 pounds and losing. I have not had my first fill yet, so I am wondering what that will be like.
