Lapband - Jan 2009 weight goal reached with lapband. Revised to VSG- 1/25/16
By all means Bette, you are a sucess. I consider myself a sucess, I've not gotten to goal, however noone has ever given me a goal. I believe I have 10-15lbs to go. But if I never may it thats ok. My health and blood sugar are so much better. I have not had anymore eye problems and I feel so much better so that being said I consider myself a very sucessful bandster. I strugle with food like everyone, but since I take insulin I have to eat even if I'm not hungry and somtimes if my bs gets too low. But I still have been able to maintaine my weight for a yr. And I've lost 75lbs.
