Well here I am headed past the 1st month, and have had my first fill. It does restrict a lot more, and I am glad. I think I can still eat too much but am losing some so am happy. I use this site to keep me focused. I am so scattered with a lot of business decisions and need this. I have one person that knows I have a band and she is a bit jealous I think.

Boy how time flies!

As I approach my 4 year Bandiversary, I started thinking how the Lapband has changed my life or how I had to change my life to live with the Lapband.

First off, I thank God every day for showing me there was an option and giving me the opportunity to have the Lapband procedure.
