100 Pounds Gone -- I Love My LapBand

As of this morning, I have lost 100 pounds! That's 10 months and 4 days since surgery. Right on schedule.

 

When I started this process last summer by going to the information session, I had already decided that if I could lose 100 pounds, I would consider the decision to have Lapband surgery a success. My attitude changed the day I made the decision -- I became optimistic and hopeful because I was finally deciding to do something about my weight/health/life rather than continuing to sit around complaining about being fat.

 

By the time I had my consultation in September and then the actual surgery in November I was sure this was the way to go. I was right!

 

Having LapBand surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made (and believe me, I've made quite a few bad ones). My life has changed and continues to get better every day. Even with all the accompanying issues and problems I've run into over the last ten months, I would not change a thing except possibly to have done it sooner!

 

I am going to continue to work my band so I can lose more weight, continue to live a healthy lifestyle and live a lot longer.

 

BIKINI BODY, BABY! That's the new goal!

I never remember have that kind of conversations in the past!! LOL You are an inspiration! Keep up the awesome work..it is all so worth it! Put on the bikini now..see what it looks like! Take Care!
