KyleyBarros 1 Posted December 1, 2008 Well I was banded on 11/24/08 and I think it was the best decision I ever made. I am now 1 week post-op and down 18 pounds!! I feel great and I even look much better my dr in NJ is Dr.Borao I would recommend him to anyone hes the greatest and talk about a dr thats always by yourside... <33 Well im only 18 and i weighed 194 pre op and technically shouldnt have been banded but I was addicted to food and wouldve never lost it on my own so therefore it probably saved my life cause at 18 with sky high cholesterol and tryglicerides I was headed for despair so I really think lap band in the long run saved my life.. Well its 3:20am here in NJ so I better get some sleep because i have to be up at 8:30am to walk so ttyl :thumbup:dont be strangers. xO:thumbup: 1 katiemart1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Kyley. Sounds like you are doing awesome! Even if you do like to print in tiny tiny font so old farts like me have a hard time reading, LOL !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katiemart1 10 Posted December 2, 2008 Wow, Kyley. Thats' fantastic weight loss after only a week! I'm new to this site, hope to get approval for lap band in the next few days. I've pestered my doctor for over a month now to get me approved, and he's hemmed and hawed, asking 2x what I've done in the past to lose weight, then asked me again, like I hadn't already told him! Hoping I'll have better luck in the future, or I'm changing ins! Best of luck to you with continued weight loss and great health! Katie:thumbs_up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
