HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS., AND I WANT TO WISH YOU ALL A HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS ONE.  Well  I am back on track as of today.  The last 9 months I went through something that throwed me off my game. My new way of eating  went in the garbage and I gained about 20 lbs.  I am now back on track and will be praying and doing it again. Thank GOD my health is still on track.

 

Ladies this is one year and seven months that I had my surgery and lost my weight, but I am going through something at home and started eating the wrong things and in-between meals so I have gained about 12lbs. I will be find, I am going back on my strict diet but I woudl like you ladies to pray for me. Thanks

It has been 1year and two days, since my lap band operation. Would I do this again?  The answer is - “Yes”. I am now 60lbs lighter and although I am not at my goal of 170lbs. I am at 190lbs, I feel good physically and my diabetes is now under control. I do not take any medication anymore, but I still monitor and eat well.  I have joined a dance class which is great. I also plan to join the gym, but I do some exercise at home.

I must give thanks to GOD. GOD opened my eyes and my mind to take my health in my own hand, and make this decisions that is helpful to me for the rest of my life.

My children was not very happy with me about doing this operation, they wanted me to go on a diet and exercise, but you all know about those I do not have to tell you. I did not have the will power.

My friend Alton, was supportive by telling me he knew people on his job that did this operation and did not have a lot of their health issues anymore.

I would like to thank my medical doctor,  Dr. Ament for all his little lectures and support. I could not ask for a better doctor. He listens to any decision you make. Then he ask you what you know about the decision that you are about to make. After listening he then tells you what he believes or heard and if he think you decision is a wise.  HE IS A GREAT DOCTOR.

Dr. Michael Roslin (Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC) my doctor who did the Lap Band surgery. He is also a great doctor, anyone who lives in NYC should get in contact with him.  I feel like I owe my life to him. When he went in to do my operation not only did he give me the Lap Band but he also made some other minor adjustments that I needed.  If he did not do this I would have had to get another operation to fix the other problems. Thanks GOD and Dr. Roslin I did not have to do two operations.

Also, I would like to thank this obesity site for giving us a forum to express ourselves and to all my friends that contacted and supported me Thanks. I will be blogging every three months or so. GOD BLESS!

It has been 10 months since my lap band operatrion.  I am now 58lbs lighter and closer to my goal of 170lbs. 

My doctor told me to visit him in about two months, he said I can do the rest on my own with proper diet and exercise.  I have joined a dance class which is great. I also plan to join the gym. 
 I am so thankful to GOD who saved my life by allowing me to hear about this lap band and having this operation. 

Thanks to all my friends again and I will write again in two monthis when I have one year. 

My goal on 08/07/08 is to be 170lbs or less.

Well I am doing well now, better than I was before. I went into this surgery expecting a miracle but then I realize I had to work very hard to accomplish what I wanted. They say in life nothing is easy, well this was no different. But with the help and GOD and my sons I am doing well.   Yesterday was 6 months and I have lost  43lbs looking and feeling much better than I did before the operation.   I will be posting some new phots soon. To all of my friends that helped me along the way A SPECIAL THANK YOU. One person that I have to say a special THANK YOU  to FRUITFUL165, she was very positive and gave me extra support  when I needed it the most.  GOD BLESS TO ALL MY FRIENDS.

I am sorry for not communicating for such a long time but I was going through something and was not feeling well.  Anyway here I am my weight loss is not what I want or expected but I am hanging in there and working really hard now. I have lost 25lbs and I am getting into coats and clothes that I have not worn for years. I can walk up stairs and I do not have to stop to catch my breath. I am taking my grandson to swimming lessons and I can actually come up out of the pool without someone having to help me up,  these are all blessings and I thank God everyday.  I will be back soon to give you my progress report.

Well I had my surgery on Tuesday and I came home on Wednesday evening.  Every thing went well thank GOD. I also want to thank all my friends and those on OH who had me in their thoughts and prayers. The operation went well. When I awoke in the recovery room I felt like someone was standing on my chest  but after a while that went away.  I was never in pain. After getting my GI  I had problems going to the bathroom  I had to drink tons of water and that made my chest feel very uncomforable but once I did they allowed me to come home.  I am not feeling hungry at all. But this morning I had some tea and protein drink. Anyone who is going for the operation and have any questions please feel free to write to me. LOVE YOU ALL AND THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP EVERYONE GAVE TO ME!!

I will be going  to have my surgery on Tuesday 08/07/07 I am a little apprehensive.   Please let me know how do you feel after the operation?. Are you in a lot of pain? Well I would like you all to say a pray for me. I will be writing my blog as soon as I come home on Wednesday.
