Goal Met
Jan 19, 2008
I have met my goal and beyond. It took me 3 years to meet my goal. But Doctor Allen said he was not in a race was I. he has been most supportive. I know that I picked the best doctor. I have now lost a total of 123 pounds. I would still like to loose some more weight. Friends and family say that I do not need to loose anymore weight. But I want to get out of the over weight category and into the normal weght category. I feel so much better. I still have a problem of over loading my plate eventhough I know I can't eat that much. Also at resturants, I'm still looking at the best deal for my money instead of portion size. I end up taking the food home and usually throwing it away. I guess some old habits are hard to break. It also appalls me that some people think I took the easy way out. They fail to realize that the lap band is a tool that I plan on using the rest of my life. i feel that I have added years to my life. I am so thankful for the chance to have this surgery and having support from a few of the friends that I have and Doctor Jeffery W. Allen. Much Love, Cathy
