one year ago today
Hi everyone, A year ago today, I walked into Dr C's office and told him I wanted WLS in particular a Lap Band. A month later, I met Dr. Urbandt and the journey began in earnest. I went through my 6 months of testing and classes to get ready for my Realize Band surgery. I lost 20# during that time.
I just got back from Dr. Urbandt's office. I am happy to report that I have lost 31% of my body weight, 59# and a total of 35 inches over all. He said the average person loses 34% by the first year so I am well ahead of the game plan.
I have gone from a size 28W pants to 20W and from a size 3x shirt to a XL or L depending on the cut . I am fitting into clothes I haven't worn in 9 years. ( Yes I still have them lol)
I have been doing the happy dance all afternoon.
Thank you for all of your support
