I am off blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds, praise God for LAP-BAND®. Right after surgery maybe the first couple of months I was off of some of my other meds. I started out taking 9 and now I am down to four which I will continue with these because its asthma and allergy meds. But good bye to everything else.
God bless you and keep us updated,

Thanks, Dana....I know in my heart that this is what I need to do! I'm drained...I'm disgusted...I'm frustrated...I'm dissapointed...I have sleep apnea....my blood pressure is the highest its ever been...I can't play too long with my kids because I just don't have the energy...I'm out of control and I need HELP! For so long I denied this, "I can do this on my own, I don't need the band...that's taking the easy way out", and I would talk myself out of it...but the posters on this site truly helped me to realize that the band most certainly isn't the EASY way out! Its going to be hard work, life changing...but the band is the tool that I need to finally help me be rid of this extra person I've been carrying around for YEARS.
I wish you continued success on your weight loss journey, your doing a great job! And thank you for your encouragement, it means so much
