third fill/ update

Good morning lapband family, I know that it has been a while since I posted but I have been really busy with the struggles of every day life....On Friday 5/15/09 I had my third fill and now I have 5cc in a 9cc band. As far as restriction goes I do have some but not as much as i would like. I have lost 60 pounds thus far and I have been working out like crazy at least 4 days at the gym. Because I have reached a plateau I had to change up my work out routine...I just started incorporating interval

My first fill

Today I went for my first fill and it was a breeze, no problem. All that I felt was a little pinch and in about 5 seconds it was all over. I was given some water to drink and it went down fine. i was placed on a twenty-four hour liquid diet so I am not sure of how much restriction I have at this point. I was told to come back in 3 weeks for another fill of about 2cc's. I have been very hungry lately and I was told that this would help tremendously. Wewill see, I will keep you all updated

5 week post op update

General: WOW, I can not believe that it has been 5 weeks since I had my lap band surgery. Where has the time gone? I can really say this has been an unique experience and a challenge. Those people that say that bariatric surgery is the easy way out, they are clueless. I think it is more challenging because it forces you into accountability. RECOVERY: Well, as far as my recovery goes, my incisions have completely closed and healed. The incision where my port is, is healed but there is

Back home now, on the loosers bench

WOW, THERE IS SO MUCH THAT HAPPENED I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. I GUESS THE BEGINNING WOULD BE GOOD. MY MOM AND I LEFT FOR GAINESVILLE AROUND 4:30 IN THE MORNING ARRIVED AT SHANDS HOSPITAL ABOUT 6:15 IN THE MORNING (GO FIGURE, i AM LATE TO EVERYTHING) THEY CALLED US BACK AS A GROUP AT ABOUT 6:30, THERE WAS ABOUT SEVEN OF US GETTING BANDED AT THE SAME TIME. ALL OF THE PREPARATION FOR SURGERY WENT GOOD, THE NURSE STARTED AN I.V. ON ME AND SHE GOT IT ON THE FIRST TRY (YEAH GRACE) I AM A VERY HARD

My Pre-op visit, ARE YOU FOR REAL!!!!

Well yesterday was extremely busy, I had to drive :car:all the way to Gainesville from orlando, well it was not really all that bad. I had my pre-op visit today . I met with the dietitian, surgeon, anesthesiologist and the admissions people so it is really official because I have all of my admissions paperwork done for Monday. The surgeon is really nice and confident :thumbup:, he really made me feel at ease. I expressed concerns about me not loosing the entire 30 pounds that they had init

I'm loosing it

ok guys I am 6 days pre -op and I feel like I am loosing it ( And I aint talking about weight loss ) Lately when I go to sleep I have all of these weird crazy dreams. One night I had a dream that an alligator was trying to eat me, then I dreamed that I was in a flying elevator that was about to be set on fire, then I dreamed that I was in a plane crash. What's really going on. Maybe it is the fact that I am only consuming protein drinks during the day and a small meal without carbs at nig

My confession Part 1

Well here goes, Friday night I went on a mad crazy binge and I had been doing sooo good for the past 3 weeks. I had to loose thirty pounds before my surgery and I lost 15 pounds already. but I still need to loose 15 more and I go and do something soo stupid. I could double kick myself!!! :cheatfree: Friday night I was sitting home minding my own bussiness when suddenly the pleasure center in my brain decided it wanted to be entertained by sweets, so instead of eating a sugar free choclate jello

Last Minute Weight Loss

I could just kick myself.:thumbdown: I had my consult on Nov 13 and I was told to loose thirty pounds before the surgery. It wasn't until 1/8/09 that I started to try and loose weight and my surgery date is 2/9/09. Although I work best under pressure this may be too much pressure.:redface: Don't be like me, if the doctor says loose weight please start immediately. So far I have lost 10 pounds in one week 20 more to go.    

Lap band or bypass?

HELLO EVERYONE I AM TRYING TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THE LAP BAND OR SWITCH TO THE GASTRIC BYPASS.:thumbdown::confused3: IS THERE ANY ONE OUT THERE OR DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY ONE THAT WAS EXTREMELY OVERWEIGHT LIKE 360 AND ABOVE WHO HAD THE LAP BAND PROCEDURE DONE AND REACHED THEIR IDEAL WEIGHT? THE DOCTORS KEEP TELLING ME THAT MOST PEOPLE ONLY LOOSE ABOUT 60% OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT. :redface: IWOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM SOME ONE WHO HAS BEAT THE ODDS.
