Hello there. My name is Jenn (you may know me from my personal blog, 
A day or two after I posted my last blog entry, I came down with a stomach virus. Dizziness, chills, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, the works. Ugh. That and the idea of reworking my digestive system has steered me back into the direction of the lap band. It’s less invasive, and I can have more control over how quickly I lose weight and how much I lose weight. Plus, it’s reversible. That’s a big thing right there.
Thank you all for your input and sharing of experiences. It’s nice to get some input from both types of weight loss surgery patients, and to see where people have come from and where they are now.
My apologies for not updating my blog sooner. Some family situations came up and as a result I have not spent much time online in the past two weeks. But I am back now, still relatively on track in terms of weight (308.8 as of this morning), and still chugging along!
So glad you are back! I am rooting for ya!

Oh, my gosh, I think you are so brave! To put yourself out there like this. Although I am overweight (high body fat percentage), I’d like to support you in your journey to 180 lbs. I’m working with a nutritionist right now and making some major changes in my eating.
I saw that you were considering a lap band – don’t do it! There are other ways….
How can I be of support to you?

Here’s the thing. There ARE other ways to lose weight. There are practically as many different ways to lose weight as there are people. Some people have success with Atkins. Some people do great on low-fat. Some people lose a bunch counting calories, or giving up soda, or taking up running. Some lose weight with pills. I don’t think TFC is considering lapband. I think she’s decided on it. I am sure she has tried diet and exercise and all sorts of other non-surgical routes, and is aware of other methods.
What are you doing now to lose weight so fast? I went to Yoga this week and almost passed out twice. Scarey
