Newbie, here.....:)

I'm a newbie here, not new to the lap-band. I was banded last July 12. I had dr Clinch as my dr. He's been fantastic. He tells you the way things are ( very straight-forword) kinda guy. So, far I haven't disapointed myself or him. I've lost 67 pounds so far. I feel like a new person. I've gotten so many comliments, I've only now been able to take compliments. It doesn't come easy for me to except. That's something I'm working on, that and body awareness ( excepting that I do look different ) I've been over-weight most of my life.

I still have alot of things to learn from you all. I hope we teach eachother a new thing or two.

Thank you,

Jen:)

Hi Jen,

Jen, that is absolutely fantastic! Doesn't it feel great! Compliments are still very difficult for me too. I still find myself going for the plus sized clothes. Best of luck to you. Look around this site. I have learned so much too.
