I had lap-band surgery 29 October 2012 and to date I have lost 73 pounds.

Thank you so much. It's been friends and family like you that are supporting me that makes it all happen and worthwhile and to tell you the truth your making my eyes tear up a bit. It hasn't been easy at all. There are things I want to eat that I can't anymore but, my health is more important to me than that food. I just wish my mom was still alive to hear ans see me losing this weight. My wife has lost about 23 pounds so far just from the change in diet and the way we eat.

I'm rooting for you too to lose all the weight you want. Does it seem easy for you or are you struggling too?

It's never easy..it's always a struggle..

Compared to my Navy buddies who have had heart attacks, the struggle is WELL worth it I think.

I agree!!

I was a prime candidate for a heart attack or stroke with my health problems. OH and I got to stop taking my FIVE daily insulin shots too. My last shots were the night before my surgery.

I think so too. :-)
Now if I can just cut down or stop taking some of my other meds. I know I can't quit all of them but if I can cut down on some I'll be happy. I know I have to lose a lot more weight before that happens though.
