Hi Everyone!

[Heather Joy 0]

Hi everyone!Im new to this site and would like to introduce myself!MY name is Heather (dUH!LOL). I had my surgery April 29 2005 and have already lost over 30 lbs! I am so excited living my "new" life-I am recently engaged to my wonderful boyfriend of 5 1/2 years, and have already gone down a size in clothes! I am already so much more confident then i have been in years.This surgery has already been a miracle for me. I have had a few problems-my port is still painful but is getting better and i had a fill last week which made me sicknd I couldnt eat anthing but liquids...but,considering what Ive read that have happened to other people--I guess its not to bad! I am very excited to meet other people who have had lap band surgery!

Hi Heather,

Thanks for introducing yourself, it is a pleasure getting to know you. Congratulations on your success so far. My port annoyed me for months after surgery but is hardly noticeable now. Best of luck to you, Teresa

I go tomorrow to AIGB in Richardson. I am so excited to have found this forum. I am on the lower end of the BMI 35- 195lbs. I will be a self pay but am afraid I may not qailified. I have beeen over weight my entire life and recently developed hypertension. Surely I will not have to eat my way up another 25 lbs that I recently lost (on another fad diet) to become elidgible.

Any Feedback would be appreciated!

Big D you might want to go to introductions and post there, you will probably get more responses that way.

Wow!!Thanks for such a warm welcome everyone!!Im so glad i found such a great group! I love my band and i would never give it up for the world!=) Losing weight the HEALTHY way is great. Ive done it unhealthy many times before but now i feel better then i have felt in years! I just bought a pair of capries (i havent worn then...well,ever!),and i bought a smaller pair and didnt try them on figuring theyd fit--they were too big! Thnaks again everyone for such a great welcome.i wish everyone the best of luck!
