It was a tough journey but I finally am down 110 pounds in a years period. So happy and I'm still going!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

this is me, but baked potatoes work for me

1 day clear liquids 3 wks full liquids. I was banded on the 20th down 8 lbs so far

One thing I do suggest is make sure to get blood work done some months after surgery, I was depleted of Vita D and the rest was good. No vita D and you cant get out of bed... be tired and weak/// we are not eating what our bodies are used to,,, so check that blood work.

I'm a therapist at a nursing home. One my pts came up to slapping my hip saying where did you go! where did you go! She cannt talk Very well but used her hands to make shap of a body and did a thumbs up. So sweet!

Hi everyone. I've lurked for a few months and decided I like it here. I got banded in November and have lost about 50 pounds to-date.

Going on a Christmas Cruise this December. Soooo... I would like to wear a real bathing suit that isn't skirted like a tent! I would like to wear a pair of cute cut off shorts without worrying that the that the material in the thigh area isn't going to ride up! I want to go on the cool looking slide thing....and not worry about getting stuck in front of everyone! I want to sit comfortably in any chair and not have to worry about the plastic ones breaking in the sand! I want to look pretty on my husband's arm I now silly and vain... I am doing this for me...but deep down I want him to be proud of me to. He always says he thinks I'm pretty the way I am....but well...you know what I mean. I want him to say it and really mean it. Not sure if that makes sense.

Superluli - you want to make sure you get your protein though....it's very important for us!

I had my surgery done at the SWLC clinic last October by Dr. Mitchell. I've got to say, it was a very good experience. I assume you can have this done in Vancouver, if you are willing to pay for the procedure,. If you are going throught government healthcare, then you will likely be restricted by the regulations in place in that province. I paid for the surgery ($17,000.00 CAN), but it was worth every penny. So, you may have to decide if it is worth it to pay for the procedure or go to another province for the surgery. PS...Dr. Mitchell is great.
