I Love My Band !!!!

I love my band. I am so happy to have it.

When I had my surgery on November 17, I weighed 244. I went

in for my 2 month post-op visit and I was down 30 lbs.

My first fill was this past Wednesday the 11th and I was scared!!!!!

The nurse wasn't very nice, she was mean and asked my why I felt

I needed a fill. I told her that I had my surgery 8 weeks ago and it was time.

AND I had paid cash for my surgery and the price included fills for the first year. I had paid for the fill and it was time.

Since I had my fill. I have lost 7 pounds. I cant say enough about this

surgery, my doctor and the joy that I have that I am almost under 200, my towel wraps all the way around me when I get out of the shower, my legs dont rub together anymore. I have so many things that I have noticed since I

began this journey, I could not name them all.

It's so amazing, its hard not to gush at strangers on the street. I see poor overweight women lumbering through the shopping centre and I want to grab them and say "I know how to fix this". Mind you I've only lost 9kg so far, lol.

My girlfriend is very obese, and I'm waiting for her to start asking questions. She's not, I dont think she's interested and I dont think she's all that impressed by the lifestyle changes. But I want to corner her and say "you really should do this".

Of course, I shut up about it. It has to be people's own decisions. But it's just so freaking amazing.

I've found the weight loss and the lifestyle changes that have resulted in it, simply effortless. It's happened automatically. I do not miss a single thing about my "old" life.

I'm glad you're having just as great an experience.

Be very proud of yourself, and keep up with your success. I can not wait to get started, surgery soon still working with the ins. and don't let that nurse get anything over on you

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you. I hope that's the way I feel in April.
