I am LOVIN' my new life!

The program that I chose to go with for my LAP-BAND®®® is called LifeShape Bariatrics in Melbourne, Florida. The AWESOME team is led by Dr. Mark Fusco, and I could not be more happy with any other support system. They are so caring, attentive, supportive, and motivating. I know that they are a big reason as to why I am doing so well post-op.

I have lost 24 pounds since surgery and 36 pounds since I started this journey. My clothes, especially my pants, are falling off of me. I was trying not to shop, but I have to give in. My slacks are falling down and look ridiculous with a belt. They are so big now that they make me look even bigger. I am losing pounds and inches, but still do not require help in that area, thank you very much!

I feel so much better about myself. I am no where near my goal, but you know what, I am working toward it and that should mean something!

I am getting so many compliments on how I look; man, what a motivator! It feels good! I actually enjoy taking pictures again (obviously, see my album lol)

I started working out with LifeShape's personal trainer last night and will go twice a week. I will also be working out at least 2-3 more times on my own.

What a difference 36 pounds makes! Best of luck to all of you - keep at it and reach for the stars!

Keep up the great work. Best wishes on your happy journey it is so amazing this trip we are on. I am enjoying every moment. imaluckydog
