Posted 15 Dec 2011

Best thing I ever did for myself. I have always struggled with my weight and as I got older it became harder to lose. But when I developed adult onset diabetes in addition to high blood pressure I knew that I needed to do something fast. A friend of mine had the lap band done and she had nothing but good things to say about the procedure.

My experience was relataively uncomplicated. I was sore for a few days, but up and about in 72 hrs, back at work in 4 days. I have had to relearn to eat, there are alot of foods that I can no longer eat, but thats ok... I dont need to eat bread anyway. I love to eat veggies, and I have a new love for fish.

This had opened up a whole new world for me. As of 12-07-2011 I have lost a total of 40 lbs and I'm wearing a size 10. Haven't seen that number in years, plus I feel so good and have so much energy.

Hi Nellie,

Thanks for your review. Congratulations on yoru weight loss. It's not an easy road but you're doing well and you seem to be reaping the benefits.
