Introduction from Nebraska

[Glenda W 0]

:smile: Hello everyone. I had the lap band done in June of 2002 and lost 207 lbs, but then over the last 2 years, put 70 back on. I went back to by Dr (Dr Jeffrey Holloway, whom I love) and started having Fluid put back in my band, only to have it all taken out again due to a hiatal hernia, which I had fixed Jan 29, 2008 and also had the band moved to make the pouch smaller. I have lost 9 lbs in the last 2 weeks and am looking forward to having fluid put back in my band to help me towards getting back to my goal weight. I have had absolutely no problems with my band and I love it. It has been a great life safer for me (literally)

I hope I can achieve close to your goal. I'm looking to lose about 130 pounds. Do you thing i can do it? I had the surgery 1/18/2008 in UVA in Virginia. I'm real inspired of what you have personally accomplished. I'm focused and determined to meet my goal. I have lost 25 pounds thusfar.

105 pounds to go... Keep me in your prayers and your words of encouragement would be nice.

Take care and stay healthy. Marlon...

Welcome Glenda,

I am also from Nebraska. Where did you have your surgery? I am just now starting my lap band journey. Did find out that my health insurance will not cover a thing. Now what? Have a great day.
