This website is still partially under construction.I'm working daily on it till it reaches perfection.(in my humble opinion ofcourse) On august the 1st 2003 I finally had my lapband surgery. I lost 101 lbs so far in these last years.Without the lapband I'm sure I wasn't able to loose that much.For me having my lapband has been a very positive experience so far.I'm making this website to explain how the lapband works,what it can do and how I benefitted from it.Ofcourse I love my lapband and my journey has been very positive but I know for a small amount of people it isn't.That's why I'm putting all the side-effects in here and what you can do to prevent them.Before I had my surgery I had done a lot of research and I want to share the information I have about the lapband.I hope it helps you and if you're not here for lapband info just check out my poetry website,my family page(still under construction), my angels page,the pics and don't forget to sign my guestbook on your way out.Thanks for stopping by and have fun!!!....ps....finally added my weightloss pics...check out the difference.!!!!! "Update"....it's november 2006 and my port has flipped.I will get it repaired asap....luckily it's minor surgery(30 minutes). New port placed may 2007.Let the weightloss begin again.
