  1. I love my band with plication. Banded Nov 6 2012. Down 65 lbs. Good luck.
  2. Congrats on success stories. I was banded 4 1/2 month ago and I have lost 63 lbs. I credit my success to me and my own determination. I knew it was now or never. 59 years old ( young) lol and tired of being overweight. Lap band with plication was the best thing I ever did. No need for a fill yet but will get one if I need it. 7 lbs from goal. Have not been back to doctor since December ( he is a jerk) but will go see him when I reach goal. Protein and low calorie intake. Haven't had one bit of all the things I loved. Good luck to all. It's up to you if you really want it.
  3. Just a low carb high protein diet. Lots of fish EAS protein drinks and low carb veggies. I love pickles now I buy smoked turkey weight watcher cheese. Since I have no fills I can eat anything but choose only these to eat. Good luck!
  4. I had my surgery at True Results in The Woodlands.
  5. I was banded with plication on November 6 2012. Starting weight 215 as of today 157 lbs. Best thing I ever did!
  6. Everyone's weight lose is theirs! It's so personal. To each his or her own. Just be happy!
  7. The only restriction I have is me just stopping when I think I've had enough. Trying to venture out a bit and eat different things. I've lost 45 lbs in 10 weeks and know that it will slow down now. I only planned on losing 20 more but WTH I will just see how it goes. Should go back to doctor soon but ben too busy. I feel great and pleased with my plication and band. Good luck to us all!
  8. Banded ten weeks ago tomorrow! Down 44 lbs. I love my new way of life! No regrets!
  9. I am so happy with my band! No regrets. Just follow dr's orders and you will loose! I had plication with mine. I read these post and think WTH. Why go through this if you dint want to lose? Really. 8 weeks our 41 lvs! Happy:)
  10. I wasn't allowed to eat anything but Soups and mushies til week 7. I think the plication has helped the most and a lot of determination. No exercise yet but soon. Low carbs and low fat.
  11. Banded with plication on 11/6. Down 38 lbs. No complaints!
