I had the LAP-BAND® surgery July 24, 2009 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland, OR. My surgeon is the head of Weight Loss Surgery, Dr. Emma Patterson.

An excellent doctor.

I have lost 45 lbs as of Jan. 10, 2010. I have reached a plateau and haven't lost anything for 4 weeks. I received a 1 year membership to the gym and 6 one hour sessions with a trainer. Started my training and so energized. Before that I wasn't getting enough excersize in. I go 3 times a week and have the trainer one of those days.

I am starting a high Protein Drink for all tomorrow to maybe jumpstart my body.

This is a great website. You can find anything you have a question on.

Good luck to all the new banders and wish me luck. I have another 90 lbs to go. I can do it though.

Hi Rhonda----Just had my surgery last week at OHSU. I'm still tired and sore and look forward to when I can get back to my exercize routine. I don't like being a couch potato!!

Your plan sounds good!!! Good luck and keep up your excellent progress!:biggrin:
