But, I just got my 3rd fill this week and I can really tell the difference. I have alot of restriction and I know this will kick off the weight loss again. Also, I am walking now, so that should help as well. :target:
I had acid reflux really bad before my surgery. I still have it somewhat, but not nearly as bad. I am able to take medication for it "as needed" now, instead of a daily. Also, my doctor has lowered my blood pressure medication because of the weight loss! :thumbup: These are definitely victories!
I still struggle with some food issues and think that maybe I always will. I have definitely learned that the lap-band is a tool and if I stop using it, it won't work. So, to stay focused is really the key here. Cheating band is only cheating yourself!
On my next blog, I hope to report some major improvement in the weight loss and to my self esteem!

Good luck to all of you out there!
