I finally got my approval for my lap band for my insurance company today, I already had my initial doc appointment, I would like some of the side affects, do you get sick, I hear a lot about food getting stuck, what happens when food get stuck? do you have to throw up, I am trying to get as much information as possible the pros and cons from people who have actually had the surgery

starting weight: 295
today: 231
Well, I'm going down again albeit slowly. I knew the day would come to were I would actually have to use the band as the tool it was meant to be. Up until 6 weeks or so ago I didn't really have to even try to lose weight. Now I'm having to track my diet and actually concider exercise. Thank goodness the good weather is here and I garden a lot. I also found my favorite palates tape that I need to start doing again.
Anyway, just a quick check...

Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on

today I am so very utterly tired
sleeping 12 hrs only to awake
to the want of sleep again

temples and head feel the rhythmic bass drum gone awry of my heart's poundings
neck stiff and aching from staying in one position
eyes blurry from waking up from sleeping...

Can you believe it has been almost two weeks since my last doctor visit? I cannot believe how fast the time has passed. I am suppose to go back to the doctor in two weeks, but I don't think that is necessary since my body has decided after losing so much in one month that is it going to go into a plateaued mode. It is a little frustrating, but I am learning to deal with it. I have kinda taken the past two weeks off to allow my body to gain a little bit of weight so it thinks I am not starving or...

As some of you know I have been trying for awhile to reach my goal (250 lbs). My hope was for it to have happened last month, but no such luck. I was more determined then ever to reach my goal this month. I even had a secret super goal to reach 238 lbs (a loss of 16 lbs in one month). The super goal was created because it is my 70 lb marker and I have an old childhood friend coming to town and I wanted to surprise her with my weight loss since she doesn’t know I have had surgery. My friends at work...
