Aug 10, 2012
hi all its been a long long time. i am happy to say i have been successful with my weight loss. To date I weigh in at 158a loss of 122pds. I wear size 6-8 and med shirt. The extra skin bothers me along with my deflated breast but i love this side much better. My health is great and i am able to keep up with my kids. Don't regret my choice. I will try to post a pic and keep in touch more.

Count Down Time
Apr 14, 2011
Hi guys, It's been a while since I have written anything. Getting right to the point. I am having my sugery on Monday 4/18 and a little nervous. To my suprise my Boss decided to share my news of going out for sugery at a staff meeting. I guess she thought that was staff news. No eveyone keep asking me "why are you going out" of course I choose not to disclose, but now i know they will be watching. Well what ever the more eyes the more i need to keep it together on the righ track. I have my little overnight bag and expected to stay in the hospital a few days

I got a date
Feb 17, 2011
Met with Dr. V today and good to know i lost another three pounds. I now weigh in at 272. My goal weight is 160-170. April 18th, 2011 is my surgery date. I was told i will be in the hospital 3-4days depending on my progress. Dr. V says with the revision's he is much more conservative and keeps a close watch. I will need to get another endoscopy (sucks) but he wants to make sure the band isn't eroded. If all is good. i good to go. If it look like anything else. He would need to do the surgery in 2 parts. 1st remove the band and allow my stomach to heal. The gastric bypass would be another. Well I'll keep you posted on my progress. Later

Getting to know my band again
Jan 06, 2011
Today I went to the MD and discovered that my BP was within normal range and i lost 10pds within the last month
. Yeah me. Reality is i didn't work at it i just listened to my band when i was full and didn't try to push it. (push more food in my mouth
). So I'm thinking
if i really work this i might just be able to turn things around. My MD made me feel good as i didn't have to hear grief about gaining and not doing the right thing
. It is 6months until my 6th yr band anniversary. My new goal is to loose a min of 50pds by then to determine whether i will have a revision or allow the band to work or shall i say work my band. So that's about 8pds a month. My mini goal goal for the next quarter is to loose 10 % of my current weight and work out a min of 3xW. Lets go Ladychuggs. I know i can do it. Here I go
