I had my 3-month follow up on August 15 with Bariatric RN. I didn't quite make the goal I set for myself of 30 pounds by 3 months, but came very close. She told me that at my age and body type I am making excellent progress and my BP was good, and I fee

After struggling with the band for so many years, I am finally seeing the results of clean eating and exercise. I feel GREAT! The downside, if there is any, is my clothes don't fit and nothing looks right. I went to my local thrift stores and nothing l

I'm so happy to be on the other side. The removal of my lapband and new VSP went smoothly. Healing, resting, drinking, etc., I can't believe how good I feel, other than soreness, swelling, etc., this could be the honeymoon phase, but so far, so good.
