Hi I'm new. I was watching tv over the summer and kept seeing this lapband commercial and it captivated me with the question "Will that help me". I'm 42 mother of 2 wonderful husband and every year my weight kept increasing I needed to do something. I had my annual phsical and discussed it with my doctor and he thought it wuld be good for me so my husband and I went to the informational meeting and after doing lots of reading I decided I can do this. It was taking forever to get an appointment so I finally called and for whatever reason my file was back logged so they pulled it and got me in for an appointment and on September 1, 2009 my journey began. I was mentally prepared to have 5 medifast shakes a day and when they said i could have 4 plus a mean and lean dinner i was totally hyped. I hit the ground running determined to get healthy so i can live longer without alot of medical issues and I want to take my son down the slide something i never did with my daughter. To date 6 weeks later I have lost 32lbs 6oz and I am so amazed. My husband finally admitted when i started he didn't think i could do it and how very impressed and proud he was of me. I believe he was in shock. I am so ready for this just feel I need some support from some been there already done that people as I don't know anyone personally who has done this I'm 11 days out and boy is it coming quickly. Any input or comments to encourage me is greatly appreciated thanks for being here and sharing your story!
