Great doctor's visit today :)

Hello all

I just had to come on here because I went to my doctor's office visit today and to get another adjustment on my band. I saw Dr. G today and he made me feel really good and proud. My last fill was on September 28th and from then to now I had lost 7 pounds for the month. I don't think he really thought I needed this fill, but he asked me how I did it, and I told him that truthfully 2 weeks ago I had a horrible, horrible sore throat and could pretty much only have liquids. But, he was thrilled to death.

He even told me that I was 6 months ahead of "schedule" with my weight loss with the band. He said normally in a year people generally lose about 35% of their body weight in a year, and I had lost 32%!! When he gave me those numbers I was so happy. Because after surgery I went through such a stall and didn't lose anything for the longest time. So, we will see what this fill will do.

Thank you for "listening"! I hope everyone is doing well and survived the temptations of Halloween!!

Big hugs!!
