Well it has been a while since I have posted, life has been so crazy! First, my husband decided to make a great lifestyle change and go to an intensive inpatient rehab for alcohol. One day he came to me and said he wants help to stop drinking so he can become a better husband and father. I was so suprised because I never thought he would stop drinking again, so I first told him to call his job so he can see what they are willing to offer in means of help and low and behold they have a contract with Cushing Valley Hope in Cushing, Ok. That Monday June 25 he left and will complete his treatment on July 24th which will be 30 days then we can begin our life sober and happy again. I am just now able to breath and am still shocked and so extremely proud of my husband for giving his family the gift of sobriety.
Anyway on to me..... I went today for my second fill in my band I am up to 6cc's and the band can hold 10cc's. Today is the first time I really felt the band working, and boy did it hurt! But now that I know it is not broke and the Dr really put the band in (LOL) I have to eat a lot slower and chew better or it will all come back up because it hurts if you try to keep it down. But the good new is I am now down 36 pounds and am loving the new me. My outlook on life has even changed amazing to me how angry and depressed I was. Life has gotten so much better and the weight loss has helped but my attitude has changed and that is what really has made my life better I think. So to anybody thinking about the lap band do it if not for your health but for your sanity.
