Yes, it's true. Had my surgery 7/20/09 and am now down 61 lbs, weighing in at 188. 28 more lbs to go to reach my personal goal. While working out I've been able to build up my durency and cardio and ran my very first 5K on Sat. 4/3/10 and came in at 41 minutes. I owe that to my personal exercise partner and friend Ann.... I never thought I would run! But now I've got the bug and am getting signed up for at least 1 - 2 5K's a month and got my company to sponsor me. They are goingot pay for my registration fees and get me couple shirts with their logo's on them. This has been an incredible ride and I feel more alive now than I thoght I ever would. thank you lap-band and Dr. Gould and the team at DHMC Manchester...

Jamie,

That is awesome. It is amazing how great we feel about doing the things that we never even imagined before. You had an excellent time for a first time runner. Keep up the work, and your time will get better and better.
