Happy with decision

I was banded April 12, 2010. Just went in yesterday for my 3rd fill. Have a total of 6.8cc in a 10 cc band. I've lost 52 pounds post op....62 total. I follow the rules and guidelines given to me by my doctor like the bible. I have not put bread back into my diet, I do my Wii Fit every night for at least an hour, and I'm noticing fantastic results. The decision to have this surgery was life or death for me. I was a diabetic on insulin and pills, getting ready to be put on high blood pressure meds. I'm only 41. I was taking more meds than my parents who are in their late 60's and early 70's. Not the life for me. When you have this procedure, it's time to be serious. Do everything you are told to. Follow the guidelines and the weight WILL come off. I promise you that. I could never lose weight, but I came to the realization that I had to get my MIND right as well. We need food to live...but we don't need to LIVE for food.:thumbup:
