Dr. Stephen Britt did my surgery. He is a great doctor and I am very happy having chose him to do my lapband. I had my surgery on July 8th and go for my first fill Aug. 19th...which is this week! I am very excited because, the weight I have lost so far is with my band empty...so, I can just imagine my progress once I get a fill. But, I must say...I have definitely worked for it...I go to the gym at least 2-3 days a week and walk at least 1 mile a day..often times more. Once I get my portion size down with the fill I should lose better. I have learned though that you have to be sure to get enough calories in or else your metabolism shuts down. So, for now I have been getting in around 1352 calories a day...give or take a few each day. I started out at 316 lbs. and I am currently 298 lbs. since July....so, not too bad. I am pleased. Good luck with your journey and feel free to chat with me anytime! =)
