Back to blogging

I am hoping that blogging is going to help me get through my frustrations, so I am back again. I had gastric banding surgery on 1/27/09 and am working through a great deal of frustration with the slowness of this whole process. Yes, I know if I had the by-pass, it would have been quicker weight loss but by-pass also has a potential for more complications. Don't get me wrong. I am glad I had it done. I have lost 17lbs and 5 inches in my waist. I am totally off of one diabetes medication (the one I was taking the highest dose of) and my blood pressure meds have been cut in half. I just want to see the work on the scale.
