Of course, there is one patient in my doctor's practice who has lost 92 pounds without the first band fill. He was obviously just lucky. But I only have 40 to 50 more pounds to go to be at my goal weight.... and I am going to make that goal. Have a blessed and healthy day!:thumbup:

A new year , a new me

I had my lapband surgery on April 15th, 2008. Since then I have had 4 band fills and have lost 50 pounds. I feel so much better already. I don't think I will need any future fills as I am eating about a 1/4 cup now, I think I would be puking if I fill it again. I hope to post photos as I begin this journey to a new healthier me.:thumbup:
