78 pds gone with lapband in 9 months!

Hi all. Just thought I would update and say hi..........as of today I have lost 78 pds..........at first I didnt think the band would work but now I realize it does and in a great way. You learn to eat different and a whole lot smaller. You dont waste you time eating the filler foods........you save the eating to what you really want. I did Atkins at first but now I pretty much eat whatever I want except bread. And dont miss that too much, I always considered it a filler food anyway. Takes up space and doesnt have that much taste. I am currently going into a size 24 from the top size having been a tight 30! I think this saying says it all..........."Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!" I am not thin yet but well on my way! Thanks Dr Rumbaut!!!!!!

Congratulations Ellen. Sounds like you are doing great using the lap band tool. -Pam
