Feb 13th not an unlucky day for me! Its been one year today and wow how I have changed! Just to give you a little back ground, I stated out Jan 28th on my 2 week liquid diet (kinda like child birth you will never forget!) at 327# bmi of 56, my Dr instruction were loose 10lbs by Feb 13th or he would not do surgery...........Well I lost 14lbs and had surgery on the13th. Everything went great, I had no problems just some shoulder pain and man it really hurts but walking really does help. I have had about 8 fills and the last one was the ONE that hit my sweet spot, for the first time in a year it does stop me from eating to much. I did not start exercising till I had lost about 50lbs, I believe some people need to lose some weight before they start because its just to hard till you get a few pounds off. I have had a very uneventfully year with my band and I feel so blessed about that but don't leave much to talk about just that I am now at 209# that's a loss of 118# and a bmi 35.8
This is a tool and you have to work at it, nothing comes easy but you have a great helper with the band and its up to you what you do with it. Good luck to all
