Hello everyone! As some of you may have noticed, I'm not too keen on posting videos but I'm going to try and get up the nerve soon! Anyways, I was banded on 22 OCT 2009 (skymoon1982's bday!) at my heaviest weight ever. I'm 5'7" and carry my weight evenly except for my belly-roll where I had a c-section and I know that part will never go away!
Besides trying every program and fad diet out there, I did consider a gastric bypass. After doing some research, I decided that procedure was too invasive and decided to choose the lap-band instead. I did a lot of research on the web about the band, and watched many lapbander videos on youtube! Between the two, I felt lapband would be best for me! Thank-you to all of you guys that share your journey publicly! Your personal stories were, and are very inspiring to me and have helped me tons pre-op and post-op!!!!
I didn't do very well on the liquid pre-op diet and only lost 6 lbs. My surgeon sounded a little annoyed after surgery when she said my liver was a little more fatty than what she would have liked. (oops)
