Got my first fill on January 16th .  I have a VG 10cc band (finally found that out Wed).  The Doc put 2cc's in.  So far I've been to scared to eat until I feel a soft stop but I'm curious to know what it feels like.  I want to try but then again I dont want to vomit or slime.  I'll just keep things as is for now.  I go back in a month to see if I need and adjustment

almost 2 weeks post op.  Everything seems to be going well.  I started at 236 and today I am 228.  Still feeling good.

Well been busy with doctor appointments for the last two weeks.  Saw my primary for my letter of necessity.  Which I think I'll have to write myself and just have him sign because after waiting for 45 minutes he came back (even with me giving him a few sample letters) and only had my BMI on it not my height and weight and I was just so tired that I just took the darn letter.  I have several months before I'll be submitting so I have time to just have another one done.  

I also saw a plastic surgeon regarding getting a breast reduction.  I carry most of my extra pounds in my upper body..starting with the boobs.  Before I thought about WLS I had been looking into getting a reduction so I think I'm still going to pursue that as I think it will make exercising much easier as right now the size of my breast make it really hard to do some movements (jumping rope and jogging are out lol).  Welp thats all thats going on with me...oh have to reschedule my first nutritionist/baritritician appoint next month..got jury duty.  Hope it's something juicy!

Well so far on this journey I've gone to my siminar, read and read and read some more about wls.  I've managed to get the words out of my mouth and tell my husband that  I want a lapband.  He was shocked but didn't really say no lol.  I think he misses the old me too..plus so many illnesses and aches have been popping up on me lately.  He told me that the bargain was that I'd be the one pushing his wheelchair not the other way around so he's pretty much for whatever can make that happen lol.  I have an appointment with my PCP this week to discuss the wls and needed forms.  I have my appointment with my Baritrician and nutritionist next month to start my 3 to 4 month pre diet for my insurance needs.  Funny thing..now that I've decided on this course I'm excited and becoming lazy with watching what I eat lol.  I'm really going to get back on track.  Thinking of going back to weight watchers.  I liked the meetings.  We'll see.

Well here I am....looking to learn more about the lap band system and hoping to make some new friends.  I've tried just about every diet known to man and haven't managed to keep off the weight.  I started looking into the lap band after seeing a late night infomercial on it.  Never thought I'd be thinking about surgery.  However I just really have had enough of being overweight, failing, and feeling bad about not being the person I know I can be without this added 100lbs.  Thanks in advance for any support or advice as I begin this journey.
