Welcome to my page. I am 29 years old and I made the choice to have lapband surgery on October 18, 2006.

I'm here...that's about it! I've been looking into a revision surgery because this shouldn't be this difficult. I've been going back and forth with the surgeons office. My aftercare has sucked big time. I think I weigh between 211 and 215. I have; however, started exercising more often. Mon, Wed, Fri I play lots and lots of tennis and I love it. I think I'm at a crossroads in my life right now. Although I've had many many changes in my life, I'm still grateful. Hopefully, I'll go in for a fill in the next 2 weeks. I want to feel some real restriction without getting a lot of reflux. It sure sucks to feel like a fire breathing dragon all of the time. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Food Journal on June 19, 2008 12:51 am
It seems like everytime I start a food journal, it lasts all of 2 days. I've never been one to track every single thing I put into my mouth. It's very unnatural to me. For some people, journaling is very necessary and integral to their success. Others eat what they want, when they want and things just work themselves out. I wake up everyday with the best of intentions, but by midday, it's all thrown under the bus. This really is hard work.

New Beginning on June 13, 2008 6:42 am
Saw the nut. yesterday. Basically there's nothing new under the sun. I just need to go back to basics. She wants me to journal before I see the dr. for a fill. I also need to increase my protein. I'm not getting nearly enough. This is what needs to be done: make better choices, increase water, increase protein, decrease wine, increase exercise, journal, wait 30 minutes before/after meals for drinking, and take multi/ calcium supplements. When I stepped on the scale at the dr. office, my weight was 215. It is what it is. The only thing I can do now is to make up my mind to change and make this band work for me. She also wants me to go from weighing myself daily to weekly.Am I 100% happy about all that needs to be done?...no, but it's what needs to be done.
So far, this morning I've had: protein shake 15g, calcium supplement, multi, 8oz water.

Happy New Year...In June on June 11, 2008 8:52 am
It looks like this is my first post since the new year. A lot has changed in my life. I have had some new beginnings, ups and downs. However, my weight is on the up side. The last time I posted, I think I weighed about 200lbs. Well, I've gained about 13lbs. I'm frustrated a bit with this band, but I haven't followed all of the rules. I thought it would get easier, but it hasn't. I have to work REALLY hard with this band. I've moved away from my gym and I don't really work out at home. I now realize that my gym was really my motivation and support system. I don't really know what to do now. I've picked up some very bad habits again. I guess I just need to recommit. I want to look good for the summer, but I thought this band would make things easier for me, but it has not. I'm not trying to take the easy way out, but I think maybe my expectations of the band were different. I have an appointment to see the nutritionist tomorrow. I'm not very excited about it because my insurance doesn't pay. I just found out that my doc started a new policy of seeing the nut. before a fill because I haven't been filled in a while. I guess we'll see.

199.5lbs this morning. Yesterday, it read 201lbs. I drank a hefty protein shake yesterday morning and today. I need to focus in order to get the 9 lbs off by XMas. The morale at my job is very low. It's difficult, but I'm going to do my best to make it through the year.

My Story Like most other people on this site, I'm tired of being fat. I started looking into WLS a while ago; however, I really got serious about things in 2005 when my weight, diabetes, and HTN got a bit out of hand. I saw an ad for the lapband on my Dr.'s website, went to the info seminar, had a consultation with the Dr., and submitted the info to my insurance only to be denied because of lack of supervised weight loss. This all took place in March of 2006. I started a 6mo supervised program with my PCP, resubmitted in Aug of 2006 and was approved. I started this journey at 247lbs. At the beginning of Oct'06, I began a 10 day preop liquid diet. On the day of my surgery, Oct. 18, I weighed in at 235lbs (-12lbs). I spent 2 days in the hospital and as of today 10/27/06, I weigh 230lbs (-17lbs).
