New Lap bander

I talked about being lap banded about 3 years ago with my friend Sharon, she was all for it too but there was still unknowns, as this was a newer procedure. We decided to wait and then in 2007 I said I need to do something to change my life..I am obese with sleep problems and just had a total knee replacement in 2007. I talked with my doctor who is also my friend and she encouraged me to do this..Unbeknownst to me I heard from Sharon in January 2008, she said we need to do this lap band surgery and she was ready..I said so was I. In the next month or so I read everything I could and collaborated with doctors, new lap banders and post lap banders..I saw the positive effects and Sharon & I said lets set up surgery and do it..On March 28, 2008 we were banded and now we are heading in the right direction to our new lives.

At this point we will be getting a fill in a few weeks and will continue our journey...I will keep you informed along the way..by the way coincidentally we are both down 13lbs and we both started with the same weight..:huh2:
