Just had surgery on June 10th

Nancy,

Sorry to hear that you had so much trouble with the lap band.  I know that I see it advertized a lot now, though I haven't heard any long term success from it.  How are you doing now?  I just went in for my one week visit & I'm down almost 20 lbs since the surgery on the 10th.  My cousin had hers done in february & is down 80 lbs.  I'm curious to see her & to see how much I will loose in the end. 

Good luck!
Aimee

Well if you can have success with the lap band more power to you that's what I say but it was a mistake for me for sure!

Congrats on the 20lb loss!!!!!  You must be so psyched.  When I first got back from the hospital I weighed more than when I went in but then all of the sudden it started dropping like crazy.  I don't know how long it will last.  Of course at home I weigh nekked but from surgery to today it's been 17 lbs but when I go to the surgeon's office my last weight there was less than the weight after surgery.  Does that all make sense, lol.  Anyway I don't care I'm thrilled as I never had these kind of results with the lap band.

I think I told you my daughter had it down a year last May and has dropped 150 lbs, it's slowed down a lot but that's normal but her whole life has changed for the better and that of course makes me happier than for me if you know what I mean.

Anyway keep me posted on how you're doing.  I'm on mushies but it's hard and I have no appetite but I'm trying.  Talk to you later, Nancy.
