Was banded on jan 17th,2009. Have lost 82 pounds so far. Getting the lapband was the best decision i have ever made. Have adjusted to the new eating habit, feel so much better, lots of energy have more self confidence and a new step in my walk. Wish everyone who has the lapband done the best results,:confused:

Tammy: Thank you so much. The main thing i can tell you is just enjoy your new life and do remeber to chew chew chew. I stay away from chicken with skin on it because it is easy to get stuck. The exercise i do is play baasketball, walk , and my treadmill. I'm manily doing the treadmil because here in Texas the summer's are extremely hot. You are doing great also. I eat alot of oatmeal in the a.m. and for lunch youqurt and wheat thins, some meat but only the size odf a deck of cards. I do eat alot of vegetables. I stay away from any fried foods. I wish you all the luck in the world just stay focus and you will do great. Also i go into the chat roomanytime you want to chat just give me a message i will be glad to chat with you anytime. Judy
