Hello all. Hope everyone is doing well.
As you all told me, after several fills and a lot of adjustment I've gotten used to the band and am doing very well. I've lost 72 pounds so far and seeing that I only felt restriction the first part of August, I'm doing very well.
I was really concerned since I'm disabled and can't exercise. I do some leg exercises with a resistance band. But that's hardly getting up and walking. So I'm very pleased with my progress.
Sometimes it's sooooooooo slow that I think I'm gonna go crazy. But all in all I'm happy. Things are going well and I'm due to have ankle surgery in January-something they wouldn't discuss with me while I was over 400 pounds. Now that I'm below 400 they've scheduled it and after 2 more surgeries I'll hopefully be getting out of this wheelchair-so keep me in your prayers.
How goes things with all of you?
