No Q's today?

Congrats and best wishes on your up and coming lap band surgery.  I got my band in July of 05.  The surgery was so easy and painless I drove myself home from the hospital.  I wear a size 4 now.  I have been size 4 since last July. It took me 1 year to lose the weight.  It was so easy.  I can eat any food and swallow any size pill.  I have had no problems.  I lost close to 100 lbs. total.  I will not need plastic surgery.  The reason I had surgery was a lot of co morbidities.  They are all gone now.  When someone says to  me, "you took the easy way out," I say, "yes I did, and it is wonderful."  Why don't you come and join us on the lap band forum.  Great people there.  I do want to say I encourage everyone on this forum.  I have a twin brother and he has kept his weight offf for years and years.  He is really disciplined.  I was just not as successful as I became diabetic.  Believe me when I say I tried everything and it just didn't work for  me.  Lap band has.  

wow lmd - love your post! Esp your response to the clods who say it out loud - easy way my foot! You are right, you got to call a spade a spade and if you can't do it aone, ya gotta get help.

Regardless of wls or not, we have to change what we do with food and exercise.  If one does not have the stay with it part, time to admit that. Life is too short.
