Hi All, I had my surgery (LapBand) on November 29, 2007. I have been oerweight about 3/4 of my life. Most of my childhood I was 20-30 pounds overweight. I started jogging when I was 18 and stayed at a "normal" weight for about 6 years. Once I had children I gained the weight back and then more. I lost 60 pounds with Adkins (stayed off or 2 years) then came back when we moved to Albequerque the carb capital if the US! I could always lose, but could not maintain the loss.
I am now 40 pounds lighter (after 3 months)and so happy I did the band. It does what I expected it would. I curbs my appetite when I follow the rules. I have far to go, but am headed in the right direction. I love my band. It helps me feel in control again.
