i was banded 8/12/2011 i have no cc in my band and i have lost 27-30 pounds depends on the days im sad that i havent been able to lose anymore weight since march! i think i might need a fill !! and gonna have to pay for it! since my dr doesnt seems to want to give me one!!

whats the 5 day pouch??

omgosh i think u dont have a high enough calories intake i take 1200 x day

starting weight was 248..day of surgery 243 after the diet i was 234..and now almost 2months later im at 221..it has slowed down..but its normal..we rnt on liquids anymore..i dont feel hungry but i get the urges..coz i know that i can still eat stuff and nothings gonna happen!! its a mind game u gotta play with urself!

WELL HERE IN MONTREAL ITS FREE!!!!!!! the gvt pays for it.. which is great...u just need to get on a waiting list.. i started my process in august and will b getting band next week..which i find amazing didnt have to wait at all..my other option was to get it done at a provate clinique which was asking me 16 000$ and i would get my band within a month..honestly things taste better when they r free!! some other floks i know decided to go 2 mexico paid 3000 $ but once they got back home and needed medical attention..concerning the lapband..no i mean NO doctor wanted to help them.. because it wasnt their business! so honestly...i if u look at the full ppicture. it aint worth it..u live in europe so its easier for u! anyways i think that everyone has a choice,what is worth something for u doesnt mean that its worth something for someone else..so dont judge and b happy with ur OWN decisions..

thats very quick to go back to work! u only had a few days??? do u have a sit down job??? i do and my doc gave me 2 weeks min 2 stay home!

for some reason that happens with us plus sizers.é once u get into the smaller sizes ull c even with just 10 pounds ull change dress size..so dont worry congrats on ur weight loss

my dr.. doesnt give any pre-op diets..he basically wants you to change ur habits from day one that he sees u..he wont operate unless u sees u lost some weight on ur own and that u r trully serious..about what ur doing.. they want u to lose weight... i know of a dr that still operated a patient after months of waiting and the day of the operation the patient actually had gained like 20 pounds.and already had a high bmi.. the patient died!

whats a green zone?

my dr told me i would need to eat about 900-1000 calories a day and do about 10 000 steps a day for a good weight loss.. u said ur eating 1200 cals..did u try checking ur diet...example..if i ate a mcdonalds burger and starv for the rest of the day..ya i had my 1200 if not more..but i aint eating the right stuff..get what i mean??? do u excercise?? the dr also told me that after u finish ur weeks of liquids and u start with the solids.u lose slower..y dont u try doing a few days of liquids to boost urself!!!

good luck to u..let us know how ur journey goes

i put myself on more then one hospitals waiting list.. i just waited 2 see which one would call me 1st..3 to 4 months isnt that bad of wait..there r some hospitals here that r actually making people wait a good 12 to 18 months but luckly i found a surgeon that only does that..i started in august and will b operated in dec which i dont find that bad..anyways good look and dont lose hope

ill be banded the 8th of decemberrr sooo excited i found out yesterday!!!

you can get the band from free in montreal..i wrote to u in private!

do you only use the wii for your exercise??
