Ok - It has been almost three years since I had my surgery. Its been 2 years since i posted!   I started at 297 lbs, and I now weigh 143 lbs.  I LOVE my lap band!  It has helped make my life better.  I am able ot do so much more.  I feel great!  I love the way I look, and hope that EVERYONE wlll have the same results I've had.  I am so happy!

Now the next phase!  Keeping it off!  No other option but success?

Well,

I recently visited my profile and realized I've not updated it in a while!  Things are going very well.  I have had both my 2nd and my 3rd fill, and I am on my way.  I started this journey in March 2007 at a svelt 230 pounds.  By the time I had surgery in September 2007 I had lost 30 pounds by follwing the plans offered by my doctor.  As of March 19th - excactly six months after the surgery, I've lost 35 pounds.  I am averaging roughly a pound per week.  Not the two pounds I'd hoped for, but I'm getting there.  I'll take 65 pounds lost, any way I can get it.    

The 2nd fill was very easy.  No issues.  The third fill....now it has been some fun!  I am more restricted that I've been thus far.  Not having trouble, but REALLY having to be careful about what I eat, and how well I chew.  It has been very interesting.
