A year has come and gone and I can not imagine a better experience. I had my lap band "installed" on OCT 8, 2007. Here are some of the wonderful things that have happened in the last year:

11 ... the number of inches lost on my waist

55 ... the number of total pounds lost

9 ...the number of BMI points lost

110/70 ...the number of my 'new' bloodpressure - used to be high!

14...the number of fills and unfills, trying to find that perfect sweet spot - still looking

8...the number of sizes I am down (20 to 12) XL to M!

This is the best decision that I can imagine...It has been much easier than I can even describe. I do not make the best choices all the time and yes, I could be exercising, but all said - I am a new me!!!!

If you are considering this - go for it! Your life will not be the same.

Congratulations!! I will have my surgery on 10/13 and can't wait to see what my results will be in 1 year! Good luck to you.

Congrats! How exciting to hear the positive. Thanks again.

Congratulations to you and keep up the good work...
