off.
I knew I needed to do something as my 45th birthday was approaching.
The Gastric Bypass Surgery was not an option for me. I felt that
it was too drastic for me. I found out about Lap-Banding Surgery
and started doing my research. I then found out that Dr. Fusco was
going to start doing the Lap-Banding here in Melbourne. I found
my answer to helping me loose weight. Yes I was his first patient
and I am very thankful for the chance he gave me to lose the weight
that I had not been able to keep off. I knew this was going to be
a life altering change in my life but I felt that it would be worth
it. I met with Dr. Fusco to discuss this procedure and after he
answered my questions, I knew that this was what I had been waiting
for. My surgery went well and the next day when I went for my Barium
Swallow I told Dr. Fusco I forgot to eat. This was unbelievable
to me, as a nurse I never forgot to eat let alone miss a meal. I
have had 2 fills to give me better satiety and probably ready for
another but it has been 6 months since my surgery and I have lost
48 lbs and another 45 to lose. I am able to go out and eat with
friends and family. Now I weigh my food with every meal and I feel
great. I use to have Ben & Jerry in each hand and finish the
container. Now I can have a scoop of Ben & Jerry and that is
enough for me. This
is a life altering change but for me it has been worth it.
