My name is Callie and I'm new to LBT but on May 14th, I will be celebrating my 2nd surgerversary. My weight loss has been all over the board and my Doc says I've had more complications then most. My weight before surgery was 230#, my lowest weight was 143# (but I was very, very sick) I am currently at 184#. I have had to have the Fluid taken out of my band 3 times, the last time because I got the flu and threw up so much that I could stop. Even with all the problems I've had, I wouldn't trade my band for anything. I've learned so much about myself in the past two year. My weight isn't where I want it but I am so much healthier then I was two year ago. My cholesterol has gone done 68 points, my triglycerides has gone done over 400 points but the best news is that I no longer have Type 2 diabetes or High blood pressure. My biggest accomplishment since surgery is that I became a runner, last fall I completed my 1st 1/2 marathon and I'm currently training for a full. I've ran 1040 miles since my surgery.
I look forward to meeting other "Bandsters" and hope to actually update my profile soon!!
Callie Girl!
