Congrats, Rob!!! Losing weight is tough! I had weight loss surgery in 2001 with huge success but thanks to a huge regime of steroids it’s caused a lot of weight gain which is so heartbreaking and depressing for me. Now I’ll never find a husband! :)

Seriously, congrats! Choosing the right food is the main battle for me. Keep us updated on the progress and thanks for sharing your experience/progress.

Well Rob I must say that you and Susan both are looking great and from the pics of thanksgiving I feel like giving myself a pat on the back too. We are all 3 headed towards a happier life. I must say every day is challenging though because I feel like I’m dying after eating 1/2 cup of black eyed peas and I still do know how to cook like a skinny person. I still want to eat pie and cake but I choose not to now. I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel when before I could never see it and I felt doomed. I feel hope now and I’m falling in love with life again. It’s all worth it even though some days I think what did I do to myself with this surgery? As we speak I feel like beans are lodged in my pouch but in about 30 minutes it will pass. You are doing great and I am proud of you. I love you and Susan so much and I am so happy you will be around for a long time so we can all have a lot more fun with our family. Keep up the good work!

Does a lap dance come with that?

It helps to have others around you with the same goal. And after my sugery almost 30 years ago, I found buffets were a waste. Any other restaurant, I could at least get a doggie bag (sometimes getting 3 or 4 more meals from the one the rest. served.) You’ll start seeing some major money savings too. I’d wish you luck but you don’t need it. Just your own determination and the love and support of those around you! Way to go!

Very good! I’m glad things are moving on. It shows that the success of the lap band depends as much on the Doctor as on the patient.

Question: Are you stuck with that lap band for the rest of your life or will you be able to have surgery and get it removed?

Don’t forget to develop a regular pattern of exercise too.
