I'm married to my wonderful & supportive husband Jason and have 2 boys, Brayton (9) and Christian (3). I had lap band surgery in February 2008 after becoming disgusted by the impact my weight problem was having on my health and appearance. I've lost over 70 lbs and feel much better! I'd love to lose another 20-30 lbs in my second year. I enjoy reading, playing with my kids, being involved in my church - and blogging about my lap band experience. You can watch my video blogs here - lower left hand corner - that's me. :-)
Hello Becca,
I met you at the support meeting in Aug. I had my banding done on 8-11-09 all went well and as of today I am 39 lbs down from my frist visit to Dr. McEwen. I needed to get the weight off for health reasons so I could continue to have a life. I am a singer and It was beginging to also affect my performances. Things are looking up and I'm feeling much better in many ways. I thank God I heard about Dr. McEwen from my cousin Shonika that also had the surgery. Soon I'll put up a new picture to show my progress.
The weight came off fast with my pre-opt diet and my liquid diet. Now I am looking at NSV to keep me motivated. My clothes from last summer are impossible to wear now. They all look like tents on me...and my knees no longer hurt! I had my 3rd fill last Wed...and I am hoping that my weight loss will take off once again. So far it looks encouraging! ;)

We really enjoyed listening to you at the meeting last 9/15. We have a tropical vacation planned for 11/13/08. How long after surgery did it take to feel good and be able to eat normal food?
