Reaching My Goal

I had my lapband surgery on May 14, 2010.  I stayed overnight due to sleep apnea plus the surgery was done late in the evening.  I was nervouse at first but I had a great support team on my side and at the employees at the hospital were very comforting - so I knew I was in good hands.  I went in weighing 305lbs.  I went in and had my first fill June 16, 2010.  I weighed in at that time 288lbs.  Im not happy with the results but my doctor says that I made really good progress.  I know that if you have the full gastric bypass you lose the weight fast and with the band its a slow process.  But for being overweight for years - I was praying for a miracle.  It was a mental issue for me but now im very satisfied at how the weight is coming off and im not going to complain.  I joined a gym and im sweating my butt off.   I feel so refreshed afterwards.  I go see the doctor July 14, 2010 for my second fill - I am praying he will be happy with the results.  I hope I will also be happy at that time.  Until next time bandsters. :-)
