[qaz5109 3]

I started out at 320lbs I'm 5'11 I really had no issues getting my band or health issues with the band installed it was progressive really I would loss 5-15lbs in between fills then get a fill when I would hit a slowing point once I got down to 236lbs I enrolled in a excercise program a friend told me about called Hardcore Fitness Bootcamp ,if anybody is located in Santa clarita ca look them up.Since starting my 6 month tour I have drop down to 207lbs however I no longer keep my eye on how much weight I lose however how much body fat I drop, when I started I was at 36% I am currently at 18.4% I also went from 12cc in my band to 5cc 1month ago.i have taken control of my health and weight and mentally I can not be stopped.Anybody who is scared or doubting the band let me motivate you use it as the first step to change your life do not take it as a miracle.My name is Benjamin Ohanian I am a success story of the Lapband

Hey Benjamin,

I am not yet to a point that I can handle very intense exercise but I plan to be there eventually and I am very interested in joining a boot camp. Can you tell us a little about your experience with your bootcamp and what structure it follows? Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing Ben, definitely what I needed to read. I'm 2 weeks away from surgery and starting to doubt myself:(
