Sassy Sharron
I have been researching weight loss surgery about a year now. I considered Gastric Bypass but thought that it was a little to much for me. After hearing that a couple of people that works for the county had the lap band procedure, I decided to speak with them personally to see what they had to say. I then decided to attend Dr. Mejias weight loss seminar.

SEPTEMBER 14TH
I had my first fill today. Liquid diets for the next 2 days. .5 cc in my 4 cc band. Dr. Mejias says that I may or may not get
some restriction but I am scheduled for my second fill on Oct 15th. I have lost a total of 24 lbs- 5 of those was pre-op.
I have now joined an aerobics class and hope that this will help jump start my weight loss. I did not gain or lose anything in between the last 3 weeks but I know that the first 6 weeks after surgery is for healing. So those 19 lbs are a bonus.
I am also down one clothing size- use to wear 22/24 now I am wearing 18/20.
