Hi there. Don't know how often I will be posting but I will try my best to respond and post with some degree of regularity.
Ten weeks ago I had lap-band surgery and have lost 71 pounds since the surgery; I am going in for my second fill on Monday afternoon and hopefully that will move me off my current plateau.
Not only am I now wearing clothes that have hung unworn in my closet for 12 to 18 months+, I am no longer taking any insulin and have cut down my oral diabetes meds to 1/4 the dosage and weaning one drug at a time. Energy level is higher than I can remember plus my dog is sleeping and eating better (she loves going on walks with me now).
I had been manually entering using an Excel spreadsheet until I got turned on to this site. It is very cool and simple to use.
Can I help anyone? Anybody need some end user info on banding?
Good luck to all.
