Dear Patti:
Well today is the 19th so you are on your way to a new life. My name is Tammy and I had my lap band done the 26th of Nov
and I have lost 23lbs so far. I had the green band. The recovery was not bad at all> What is nice is that you are not hungry
I have a hard time to eat enough most days I eat only about 800 or 900 calories and I walk about 2 to 3 mile a day. I only needed
to loss about 50 lbs to start so that made it easyer. But you are going to be so happy that you have done this. And I know you will
make it this time. I am alway here if you need to talk to someone.
Your new friend Tammy0 -
Congrats on starting your journey! Looking forward to updates and following you on your way. I know how you feel about being excited and scared all at once. I was banded on Dec.13th so I'm pretty new to all of this too but have found some amazing & helpful people in this group. For me, it has been an amazing journey so far and I am sure it will be for you too!! :bigsmile:0

well i had a 8 day run in the hospital and ended up on blood thinner and the doctor wants me to wait till i am off of it to have my lap-band so i guess it is pushed back 3 mouths that is how long he says i should have to be on it to get the blood clot gone so i am praying but i got to say i am feeling like a million bucks and slowly losing pounds as i go 13 or so, so far so i can do this i have been over weight for ever so just a few more mouths is nothing as long as i have my health so i guess i will be posting a new surgery date later this year as long as my health stays good and this dang ole blood clot gets gone.lol0
