Hello Everyone

I am so EXCITED because I have lost a total of 55 pounds so far. It is a milestone in my life because I have hit my first goal, to get down to 300 lbs. I have 155 lbs to go to reach my ultimate goal.

I am 27 years old and my starting weight was 355 pounds in March. My WLS was on April 11, 2011 and since then the weight has been coming off. I am hoping that I can lose another 20 to 30 pounds before Christmas. I decided to get Lapband with plication because I told my doctor that I was not interested in the bypass surgery, but I needed to lose 200 lbs. He told me that my best option was to get this procedure that is somewhat experimental because they haven't been doing it as long as other surgeries. I was apprehensive at first, but I came around and I am glad that I did.

I have been a member of Lapband talk since March, but this is my first time on Sleeve plication Talk. I am just glad that there are more like me out there.

Thanks

That's awesome! Do you mind me asking how much you lost in the presurgery diet?
