I was introduced to my band on May 14, 2010. I had a friend who has had the band for about a year and has lost 155 lbs. WOW! I had several surgerys, went into menopuause in the last 8 years and have chronic knee pain in both knees. I am running from knee replacement.  Weight found me around everyone corner. I was becoming a walking medicine bottle. My blood pressure and other health problems were escalating. I knew it was time for something to change. Diets did not work, WeightWatchers worked the best for me until I had to have emergency surgery. Boom! Gained all the weight back and some more. SAD! So here I am with the band, loving it and loving the weight lose too. I lost 17 during my pre opt diet for 3 weeks and another 24 since May 14, 2010! 41 Pounds! I am proud of me. No throwing up yet!!! Thank God! I haven't had a fill yet either. That makes me nervous a little. July 23 is my next 6 week appt. May need to get one then if necessary. Life is great with the BAND!
