cin

[color=#ee82ee][font=comic sans ms,cursive]My name is Cindy everyone calls me Cin, after all my life with diets that worked for a while then only to fail in the end.

I needed to make this a permanet weight loss for my health and other factors in my life at that time.

After 2 denials I was finally approved through my insurance company. My Docotor only had me eat light for a week before the surgery.

I went for surgery and was out in about an hr things went very well. My weight loss in small in was very slow to start until I got the correct fills. My avg weight loss was 5 to 6 lbs a month over a 2 and a half yr period.

I would of never thought i'd reach my ideal weight I feel best at 155lbs but every now and then slip down to 149 to 150 do to working out on a regular basis.

I feel fantastic and have more energy than my 27 yr old son and my 8 yr old daugther. My husband will ask me all the time does your battery every go dead my answer to that is NEVER!

My health went from blood pressure meds high cholestrol, back and knee problems and boder line diabetes. I am happy and proud to say i'm off all medications and all my labs are perferct!

The band is not an easy thing to live with but worth it in every way! It really amazes me how much happier and healthier your life can be once you feel good about yourself mentally and phyically!

I'm 51 yrs old and no one believes me, when i was obese I was taken for a lot older than was I was. I love the compliments no only on my age but how good I look after my weight loss.

I also encourage anyone who's thinking about it and tired of being over weight and feeling un healthy don't think twice. It was the best move I"ve ever made my only fear with the band is slippage. I have two close friends that have had band slippage but they both have thier new bands back in and doing very well.

I have no regrets just pure happiness and health!

Good luck to all who has had it done and to those that are waiting for a date or approval.
