Down 25lbs and pretty pleased. Can't wait for the rest to come off. Monday was the first time I have felt like me! Am I over the initial recovery hump? Started Zumba class at the park district tonight. It was one hour and a lot of fun. I need to make sure I take it easy when exercising. I am so thankful for my family and friends. What a supportive and loving group of people I am surrounded by! I am really wanting to get my first fill.

The surgery should definitely help you. My surgeon had said that after the banding and weight loss he has had many patients get pregnant. Patients that had been trying for years and had been unsuccessful had gotten pregnant. The lap-band could end up being better than a fertility doctor.
