I've been away for a while. I had a hard time at first with the band, required 2 additional surgeries to reattach my port. But alas, I am down 167 lbs. from my all time highest. I lost 30 of those before the band, so I guess you could count me in as 137 lost. Anyhow you slice it, I'm happy! Just wondering if anyone else has a hard time "seeing" the weight loss? I still feel like I look the same. I even compare old pictures and they all look the same to me??? Anyone else feel that way?

I had my surgery w/ Dr. McMahon at Duke. He is no longer with the practice, but Dr. DeMaria is doing their lap bands now. I can tell you that he is a good doctor. I have had my band for 2 years and not lost any weight until Dr. DeMaria did my adjustment, now I've lost almost 50 pounds and I'm still loosing. I had lots of problems at first with Dr. McMahon, but things are better now. You can PM me if you'd like more details.
