everyone is different

I am 78 lbs lighter and still can't do the treadmill..however, I can do 60 minutes of water aerobics. it is easier on the joints and the brain. Good Luck

You are awesome! Good luck in your new journey!

these are GREAT...I probably won't get things like that..unfortunately at 55, my skin is going to show my age more, the more weight I lose.

Good Luck!

I saw my doctor after a week and he told me I could increase my schedule. I still haven't had a fill. Since my last appt..I think I have lost about 7 lbs which is as good as I was doing but then again, I have only been to the gym once in the 5 weeks. Listen to your body and check in with your surgeon. Everyone is different

I don't know that to tell you but I wish you luck.

way to go! keep up the good work!

did you eat them because you were hungry or because they were good. I find sometimes..I want to eat more than I should just because...not because I am hungry

if there is a True Results in Dallas, I personally think that is the way to go. The aftercare and support they offer is awesome. I am 55 and had my surgery in May. Good Luck!

so far so good and I haven't had a fill...but losing the weight has never been a real big problem for me...its the keeping it off...so here's to never having to lose those I just lost again!

I will eat a chicken thigh and maybe a corn tortilla with cheese.. sometimes fish. I have had steak but find that is like a once a month thing because I want to eat too much.

only you can decide which is best for you...but...in my opinion...I would rather have the band that can be removed if necessary than have the cut our part of my stomach. I love my band!

I read it all too...I was banded May 26th and although I have changed PA's, I am actually lucky because I like the new one better than the first one. I don't know if you can, but maybe you can find where the other PA went and move to them. It is so important to have a team you trust and like. Know I am thinking about you and wishing you the best.

I haven't had a fill, had my surgery on May 26th.. I lost 24 from Feb to May...but am down a total of 70 since Feb. I do it by watching my portions and what kind of food I eat. In my old way of thinking it would be a diet, but with my new way of thinking it is my lifestyle change. I figure sometime, when my loss slows down, I might need a fill..but for now its all good. Good Luck

I was told 30 minutes.

and not everyone has fills that often either. everyone is different.. I haven't had a fill yet..and I know I am in a minority.

congrats!! way to go!!

looking great! keep up the good work!

I really didn't watch it that much. If it hurt I noticed but I know it was swollen for some time. sorry I can't be more help but if it hasn't changed since your surgeon saw it, I wouldn't worry..or if you feel better go to your surgeons office.

that means your brain is still fat, but it will get thin, just let it catch up. Good job & good luck!

I looked into the other options...not alot but enough to know that I wanted the procedure that was least invasive and reversible. My down time for this was minimal. had surgery on Thursday and was back to work the Tuesday after a Monday holiday...I could have gone back on Monday, if I had needed to. Everything is going to have naysayers.

mine stayed swollen for awhile.

I am going to lose over 150 lbs. I started at 304 and right now am about 238. I was banded May 26th but started my losing February 21st, while going to the nutritionist. I have two goals...170 and 155 and then who knows. I am 55 years old and haven't been 170 since I got pregnant with my soon to be 34 yr old daughter and haven't been 155 since I was a senior in high school. I believe that anyone that has a lapband, works with their band can and will lose as much as they want...some will lose it fast others slow...but in the end it can be done. Good Luck!
