I lost 23 pounds by the end of the first 16 weeks which equaled about 9% weight loss .... I would have liked more but it was okey and I looked forward to the next 16 weeks because I was sure that I would surpass that amount but ..... my weight started to go up and down up and down once again ..... it certainly was not from my lack of trying and her soothing words and good advise and encouragement. To make a long story short... after a total of 13 months on the program I had regained 6 of the pounds and was only at a 17 pound loss ... again that feeling of failure.
I had seen the ads for the lapband over the past year but I thought if I did that ... I would be the biggest failure of all time but then it all just came into focus for me ... several events happening one after the other ... made me finally decide that this is what I needed and now I feel such a sense of peace with the decision .... I can actually see a thin me at the end of this journey and I had given up hope on even thinking that this would be possible.
I have been reading up on the subject by reading about other people's experiences both bad and good ... and I am taking it all in ... I have a wonderful daughter who supports me completely.... a husband who is also very supportive and didn't even make a face of horror when I told him how much it was going to be.... all he said was...". if this is what you want ... then I am 100% behind you " I know my daughter's friend will be there to help me along and also the medical term are so caring - Dr. D, Dr.S and Sam - I feel like I am in the best hands that anyone could wish for.
