Happy 3 Months to me!
So... chronologically speaking.. I've had the Lap-band for just over 3 months, its kinda eerie really. For those of you that have no idea how the lap-band works(See below), its like a "band" is anchored around part of your stomach and sutured in place so that then the band can be adjusted either up or down via saline injection/removal via the port.
So it's been 3 months i've gone from 286 (Size 44) to 212* (Size 36) and I can tell I've lost the weight, which is the best part. I have 12 more lbs to go before I get to St. Josephs 'goal' weight which puts me 20#'s off my 'goal 1' weight, pretty much I want to get down to 180 and then build myself back up to 200 with help from a Personal Trainer to sculpt whats here so it doesn't look like folds of old gut. To those that have helped me through this and added encouragement, many thanks to you.
