Almost at bandiversary!

On Nov 6 I will have my one year. I had lap band with plication. I have been very successful. I guess I was just ready. I followed all the rules. I haven't needed a fill yet(which my True Results doctor says I'm only one of three) but I knew my stomach was small not ever thinking about my band, which was only lubed during surgery, but my thought was I don't want to stretch my small stomach! I weighed in at 215 lbs 5 1/2 in short fought my weight since 1972 (1st. Child at 18 Gained 72lbs. ). That was back when doctors didn't say much bout weight gain! That was 41 years ago. I've been at weight now since Aug. My goal was 145 but my body stopped losing at 132. But folks I just followed the rules. Low carbs small portions and my weight fell off. I'm nothing special but my sister had it dine 11 months before me my 3 months after me....all successful. If we can do it anyone can! Best of luck! I just celebrated my 60 birthday! And 42 years of marriage!
