Mavis,
We hear that a lot. People have had difficulty crossing their legs before they lose the excess weight with the Lap Band.
Great news and congrats!

Dont laugh out loud …. but I’ve even lost weight in my legs and no longer have to have something to prop my legs against when I sit with my legs crossed. I used to have to sit on the second row in church to have something to help keep my legs crossed they were too fat to stay crossed.

I Lost that ugly fat girl who couldn’t stand herself and thought her only self worth was in the size pants she could fit in. Good riddance.

I gained arm rests. You know now that I have lost the weight I can put down the arm rest in my car and at the movies.

LOST: sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes and any urge for fast food . GAINED: self confidence, ability to exercise without needing oxygen,and overall energy. At 64 years old I feel better than I did before I had my first heart attack in 1993 I do not think I would have a longer life if I did not have the Lap-Band PS–my golf game is much better but that’s another story!!!!!!! This is a great blog!!

I lost my depression funk I was in! Woo-Hoo! Now, I’m able to enjoy my life, my husband, my kids, and being my “true-self” again. I’m not hidden behind the extra 70 lbs. of fat anymore! I’m me! I’m free!
