Please Welcome Me Back

WOW........
It has been a year.  When I started this journey, I said that I would always use this site as a tool. All I can say is forgive me.... Ya'll life has been hard. So let me catch you up on me.  The 16th was my 1st year bandiversary.....the year went by so fast that it was really unbelieveable.  I have had no major issues with my band, except for one episode in September. My band was too tight and I had a very bad case of acid reflux.... after experiencing that, I don't understand how people could live with their bands being so tight.  I could not keep anything down, not even water. After getting a complete un-fill everything kind of went back to normal, except for one thing, I had a breast reduction on October 1st. What I thought was to be an easy procedure turned out to be a nightmare. The operation was a success, but the medicine that was prescribe to me was too strong. The medicine was so strong that for a week I was hallucinating, I could not eat and I had panick attachs daily.  It took me going to the doctors office (which was crazy, because I was so drugged up that I was afraid to leave my house) three times in the week for her to finally get me the right medication. All I can say is "Just Say No to Drugs".. After about the thrid week, I was healing fine both mentally and physically.  I love my new breast, I wish I would have had my reduction over twenty years ago.  I can't wait until the summer, I will be able to go braless without stepping on my breast.......Okay I know you guys want to know, I went from a 43GG to a 38B and I love every minute of it.  Okay back to the band, at one time I was at a stand still with my weight lose and what worked for me was this WALKING>>>> it was my best friend before I had my breast reduction.  I was walking up tp 5 miles a day and I really notice a change. The weight just melted off.  I still have a way to go, I lost 70 pounds this year, and I know that if it was not for the band, I would not have lost the weight.  I am looking forward to 2010, becuase I plan on losing the rest of my weight, which is another  60 pounds and then I will be on a life long maintenance plan.  For those of you considering the band, please consider this tool.  You might not lose the weIght as fast as you would with the other tools, but you will lose the weight and you will learn how to  love you all over again.
