Happy New Year to all the June post ops.  I hope you are all doing well!
I am truly happy the holidays (and Christmas cookies) are over.
It is time to get back on track with exercising.  My daughter and I are going to the YMCA after she gets back from Tae Kwon Do class.

 Yes some of the stomach is holding the band in place.  This procedure is rather new, so there's not alot of information as far as statistics. When I was told that I could lose as if I had gastric I knew lapband plication was for me.

 The plication is the inverting of the stomach and stitching to create a sleeve affect. That is why I have more weight lost. The lapband along with the plication helps with more weight loss.

 I deffinately exercise more, and can't eat a lot, but instead have 4 or 5 smaller meals. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, spin, have a trainer and started the 'couch to 5k' program. I can run 4 minutes at a time, and have entered a mini-triathalon for June 2012. I only wish I was getting the results from the band I've seen some people having. Thanks for the reply- good luck to you also!

I've had three fills. I didn't want the third one but the Doc wanted me to have the full sensation and I wasn't having that. I now have that, but I get full or choking and have to get it up and out when I eat too fast. I also exercise more. I hope to lose 50 more lbs. Be encouraged and continue following the process.
