WOW!!!!
I just realized I have surpassed my monthly goal!!!!
My goal for Sept 29 was 172, I am 170.4!!
YEAH ME!!!!!

Your are beautiful!

My psych denied me for lap band, but Tricare still approved the procedure. Psych said I needed to work on my depression issues and possibly change my meds.......then I should rethink lapband. Well, since I have lost 50 lbs WITH the lapband my depression is slowly improving. Most of my depression was caused by my weight. I feel so much better about myself and the I look! I am not saying I am cured, but I am definitely getting better.

Down to 174.6

My motivation is to look good! I know being over weight eventually would have effected my health but before my band my doctor always told me I was in really good shape even though I was 100lbs over weight. My blood pressure was always low, my blood sugar and cholesterol was perfect. So my bottom line for getting the band is ..... I want to look good and be confident doing it!

I am at my second fill and I felt a little restriction about 4 days after. Don't know if it was because the dr had me on liquids for 3 days after my fill.

Congrats to you!

I went in today for my 2nd fill and all went well. With my first fill, (3ccs) I had no restriction at all! This time he put in 2ccs. (total of 5ccs). My doctor has instructed me to be on a strict liquid diet until Monday. He said putting an additional 2ccs was aggressive and it may take my body that long to adjust to the fill. I hope I get at least some restriction! Only time will tell. I will keep all of you updated.

I am in admitting now. Very excited and nervous! Good luck to all my May 14 band buddies!
