My mom wants to take me shopping too, now that I can fit into "normal" clothes. I met a great guy who is extremely good looking and he thinks I am sexy. The LAP-BAND® isnt magic.

My life is going so great right now, and it is 100% related to my decision to take control of my weight with the LAP-BAND®.


Hi
I am 4 weeks into my band and my weight has been up and down. I did feel exactly as you did at the beginning, but I'm trying to be positive. Thanks for your support.
