I have always had weight issues. I had a nice shape in high school but I ballooned up after taking steroids from suffering with asthma. I would eat everything i could get my hands on. I tried yo-yo dieting and never considered having the lap band. At that time my BMI wasn't high enough but a friend was interested. Because of their interest I decided to look into it myself. I went through the approval stages and was denied - and still not at the right BMI. I gained 22 lbs in the process and I knew I had to do something. At the beginning of the year my insurance changed at my job and I had my doctor to submit my paperwork immediately, and I was approved in less than 2 weeks l. I had the surgery April 22nd and my first fill in May. I had no significant results. I had another fill on June 6th and I could feel the restriction. THIS IS WHERE I AM TODAY June 11th I am excited. I am currently working out 4 times a week and lifting weight on 2 of those days and trying to eat better. I am hoping for great results. I realize that the Lap Band is a tool to assist you in losing the weight with your help.
