Getting my "Fix" from Lapbandtalk.com

:confused:Just have to log on before bed each night and one time in the morning, to check out this website! I must say I am addicted to it!

 

I just love you all and am so encouraged to hear from you, get those little words of encouragement, that make me feel on top of the world!!! THANKS!

 

I have a friend who did not have the LAP-BAND® AP, she has lost the same amount of lbs as I have and has also joined the Gym, she had three children, I had four. I (as a Real Estate Broker) sold her the house she lives in, yet she is younger than me and does not have the skin issues I have to deal with, I am so proud for her, but my problem was not hers.:unsure:

 

I could always follow a diet, and keep the weight I would lose off for a good while, and then here it came creeping back on again! So~~~I got the band, and well I do not regret it, never will. When I commit to something, I am right there in support of the cause 100%:)

 

Everyone is different~isn't that nice? That diversity is what makes this world and this site so interesting to me. This site and this Band has brought every culture, race and gender together as one in the cause to beat obesity for good! Praise God for the Band. Have a nice night all!:sneaky::sleep:

    Thank you for the really nice blog and I agree with you totally. I actually check in a couple times a day from work and try to write something to someone. In the first couple weeks of this process I was checking different posts all the time on gas or pain or walking or whatever and the site helped tremendously.

    Have a great weekend!

    I check it more than a couple times a day! (Which does nothing to help my work along, btw! Ha!) But you are so right...it's inspiring and encouraging to read what others have to say and see what others are going through.

    Plus hearing from a friend on here with encouraging words ALWAYS helps!! So thank YOU for that!!

    Today is my first post-op follow-up! I hope he thinks I'm doing well! I FEEL well!! Still just a little sore around the port site, but that's to be expected, I'm sure.

    Have a wonderful day!
