First Step Coming Up!

Excited for you, I have had great success with my lapband. I am 19 months post op and very close to my goal weight. Just go into this as a life style change and as the band being a tool to help you reach your goal and you will do great. I look as my band as my safety net, it helps me stay focused and on track. The band is my check and balance, it has helped me to learn true portion contol and the drop in pounds has motivated me to continue to make healthy choices. I encourage you to develop an exercise plan early in your journey it helps the pounds come off faster during periods when the scales don't move and also take your measurements because sometimes the scales do not move at all but you lose inches and drop sizes. Good luck and remember this is a journey and with all journeys there may be obstacles along the way but with a desire and a postive attitude you can be successful.
