Feeling so blessed that I made the decision to take hold of my life again with the lapband!!! I had surgery on May 30, 2013 topping the scale at 289lbs; as of my last weigh-in on December 6, 2013, I'm down 105lbs. I can't express how life changing this whole journey has been for me! I feel soooo much better and am able to enjoy my life again. I'm able to do things I wasn't able to do before and I have that happiness back I was missing. I guess I never truly realized how many avenues of my life was affected/altered by my weight. I still have about 30lbs or so to go until I reach my goal weight. My next monthly check-up is in 4 days and I'm hoping to be even closer to my goal. I'm proof that if you work the band, the band will work for you! I must admit these last couple of weeks have been hard with the holidays as far as making the correct food choices are concerend; yes, I had a couple of Cookies and a few chips and dip but NOTHING compared to what I would've had without my band, my portions were controlled even though I didn't make the wisest choices; which just makes me appreciate the choice I made even more. Take hold of TODAY and make it your own......WE CAN DO THIS!

That is awesome. Congrats!
