dcgirl 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Hey. I posted yesterday, but this is my real introduction to this group and all of you. I'm about 75 lbs overweight and have been on a diet of some sort for 25 years. I continue to struggle and have recently learned about the lapband. It sure seems to work, but isn't magic. All of you are working really hard to get healthy. I wonder if I could do it.

mica 0 Posted June 19, 2008 HI, I was banded in Tijuana, Mexico Jan 25/08. So far I'm down around 40 lbs. I was a bmi of around 35 and have a total of about 75 lbs to lose as well. I wish I could have done this 25 yrs ago! I am so happy with my results and with the power of having control over my eating for once without the hopelessness of dieting. good luck with your decision.

snowbird 2 Posted June 19, 2008 I another one who had 75-80 lb to lose and had been trying to lose it for my entire life. I hated exercise and always gained my weight back. I just don't think that's happening this time. I'm not a crazy fitness freak now, but I do get out and try to ride my bike 10-12 miles a day, and it's so much easier to do now I am near goal and have built up those leg muscles. You can do it if you really want it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
