So I just passed my one year anniversary. I have lost 93 pounds since I got the lap band. Every single day, I just thank goodness that I made this decision. How could I not be thrilled with these results? My life is not consumed by issues surrounding food or weight. I am active, and can do the things l love to do (with ease) like hiking and biking. Man, this was really the best decision I

I got lap-band surgery on Nov 21, 2007 along with my two kids. We all had surgery the same day, one right after another. My kids were 24 and 18 at the time. We all were obese and struggling daily with diets, weight loss, etc. So how did we get to the point of looking into surgery? Here is our story:In August 2006, I weighed in at 332, my son was 357 and my daughter who is 5'2" weighed

My plan is to write here at least 3-4 times a week, giving information about my experiences with the lap-band, weight loss issues, and my weight loss progress. Sometimes I will tell some stories from the past 11 months. I am only starting this blog 11 months after I got the lap-band, so a lot of it has to come from my memories.

Hi, My name is Vanessa Siegal and I have had the Lap-Band since the end of November 2007. I am going to chronicle both my thoughts and feelings about the surgery, the pre-surgery and my day-to-day experiences with the band and food. I can tell you right away that I am very happy with my decision to get the lap-band. I have lost about 75 pounds in 9 months. I feel better than I have in YEARS! But
