I am back 2 yrs after my Lap-Band surgery
Jan 28, 2012
It has been a long time, the same time that has taken me to give a boost to my weight loss. The truth is that I have the Lab-Band, whic is only a tool to lose weight, but I was not getting the band adjustsments. In 2-yrs. I had 4 adjustments, 2 the first year and two the second year. The first 3 adjustments did not do the trick. I actually gained weight, no that other people noticed, but I knew that I had gained some little weight. I had given too much priority to my job, and I was also ashamed that I was not losing weight like a lot of people. One day I said to myself that I kept going with the same behavior and attitude I would never reach my goals. So, I made a phone call and I was sent to the hospital to take ca closer view of my band. I was told that my band looked perfect, and I got the best band adjustment ever :) I immediately started losing weight. I could tell the huge difference in my appetite. I can still see how the fat leaves my body, and at the same time I see how my body and my minds are also changing. I can see my future now. I know that as long as I use the Lap-Band as directed by my doctor I will reach my goals. The truth is that I see each pound that I loose as a pound that I will not see back. I weigh myself once every 2 wks or once a month. I am not a slave of checking my weight as I did for each diet that I did.I would love to reach one of my goals, which is 145150 pounds, but I am not sure if I really have to. I guess I have to wait to see how I feel and how I look. One thing that I reall want if plastic surgery. I love to wear sleeve less shirts and dresses, but my arms look so flabby. I do not understand how some people have great looking arms after loosing weight without plastic surgery. If someone can give me a guarantee that if I exersice my arms and do weights my arms would look great, I would run to the gym right now.
I hope some of you read my post and give my your opinion about your experience with the lap-band and how your body is adapting to your weight loss. I am now 204 lbs, and I cannot weight until I go to 100's.
