ladysplenda 1 Posted December 19, 2005 It has been 19 days since surgery and I weigh 197 this band is awsome.We had our family Christmas yesterday and I tryed several outfits from my closet. TOOOOOO BIGGGGG.Thank you God.The most awsome thing is I am down from 65 units of insulin to 10.I love my band.This band has probably saved my life. I was becoming brittle before I found the ambertose that held me till surgery. After 19 years of diabeties I had diabetic retonopithy and neropthy ( pardon my spelling).I had to have my kidneys checked every three months. I feel great and my blood sugars are Awsome.I want to get out and walk so I can see my scales each morning go down down down.I have always been large but my belly was a lot bigger than it should have been for my size.Weighing 218 I was in a 42 and it was tight in the stomach. The legs in the pants were to big but I needed that size because of my belly.Saturday I actually bought just a extra large off the rack rather that a 2x. The first thing that went was the double chin and now my belly is melting away. Friends Thank you for supporting me when I almost backed out.I do not think I would of had the surgery without your support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCBSTX 0 Posted December 19, 2005 I find it truly incredible how the first 20 pounds gone felt! It's amazing how far your insulin units have gone down, in such a short period of time! Isn't it wonderful?! Shawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
