1st post :)

At my  1st consult, I was 212 lbs. I am short, 5 ft, 2in. My surgery day I was 206 lbs. My surgery date was 11/17/08. Since my surgery I have experienced heart burn, I had never had it before the band. My dr. has put me on many meds to help with the - heart burn, the meds help for a short time and than the heart burn returns. Currently I am up and down from 190 -195 lbs. I was hoping to have lost more at this point. I am getting married in June!! However, I am trying to stay positive.

I have learned a lot, however, since banding. I never realized how much I ate during the day! I was constantly eating much more than I needed and wouldn't even realize it. I am now trying to find different things to do instead of turning to food. I do love to workout, I just need to figure out how to find time with my busy schedule.

At this point, I only have a little restriction... but I am at 8.1 cc in a 10 cc band.  I am wondering now if I am too tight.... I will update when I figure out where I am going from here! :) I am so glad to have my OH friends.
