About Me

Hi, I am 53 years old and live in Sacramento, CA. My husband & I have 5 kids (between the two of us) & 4 grandchildren. I have been overweight all of my life. I am the middle of three girls & have felt that everyone was looking at me because I didn't look like my sisters. I was fat they were not, I had very curly hair, they both had straight hair. Kids would even ask me "why don't you look like your sisters". I weighted 150 lbs when I graduated from High School. I still put that weight on my drivers licenses. I have tried every diet, bought every weight machine out there. In 2004 I got down to 140 lbs with LA Weight Clinic.(they went bankrupted) 2005 I put the weight came back on and then some. So this is a new start for me and I am so so excited. My dream is to one day run/jog a half marathon with my husband. Well, I don't think I will be able to keep up with him so let's just say to run/jog a half marathon. :)

    So glad to hear your successes! I also lost all my extra weight with LA weight loss, I even worked there! Some of us just need an extra helper. I just had my surgery 7/1/10. It's great to have stories of those who have gone before to read, thank you

    I have lost the exact same amount of weight as you (about 27 lbs) Not much after 2nd fill. I have 6 cc in my band and am going on the 31st for more. I want at least 8. Let me know how your fill trip goes. Weight loss has been much slower than I had hoped.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the note of interest in about my fill. It went very well. Better than anticipated. I ended up with 4cc's after teh doctor tried from 3cc's to 6cc's.
    Right now, I am not eating as much but I thought I would feel more restriction. Keep us posted as to how your next fill goes...that is tomorrow! Best of luck!!
    Thanks Again,
    Appy

    Hey thanks for the friend add! Its been slow for me too -- but I think its because I'm not exercising like I should be! Now that its nicer out I'm going to start! Would you mind filling me in on how your fill at the OCC goes? I'm contemplating going down or waiting til we head to FL in November to get it under Fluro.... can't get a fill here in my town under Flur...

    I am doing okay. I have not lost anything in the last week due to TOM and MAJOR water retention. I am okay with it though and I am just being patient and waiting it out. I am already at ideal restriction so I cant go back for another fill any time soon. I know I need to drink more water. Good luck on your 3rd fill.

    Hi Janice!
    So I am on the 'other side' now and doing well! Its amazing to me that I was up walking around that same day. I'm trying not to overdo anything. I will definitely be ready to exercise after 3 weeks! I'm ready now but don't want to hinder the healing! Have a good day!
