I am looking for a lap band buddy in Chicago I had my lap band put in on Aug 17th 2011 but I have never met anyone else on here from Chicago is there anyone out there ?

Hey everyone it has been a long time since I have been on here everything has been going well till now I started off at 315lbs and now I am 250 but I cant seem to go lower than this I don't know what's wrong on Aug 17th it will be my one year surgiversary and I was hoping to be near my goal weight of 190 but that does'nt seem like it will happen HELP !! what can I do to get to my goal weight I currently have 4cc's in my band .

Awwwwww that is wonderful congrats !

lol I agree also i was telling my coworkers that today at a meeting it was soooooo hot and all I wanted to do was chug that huge cold bottle of water lol

Good Job I joined the GYM yesterday also woooo hooo I go tonight for the first time I am excited !

Congrats and yes this band is our best friend ! I am in the same boat I got banded on the 17th of this month but I am loving this band we can do this CHANGE IS BEAUTIFUL! Good Luck to you !

I am glad u put this out there because I just started the same exact feeling my shoulder is bothering me alot also hmmmm what should we do call the doc?

Hang in there I got banded on the 17th and those gas pains are something else the best thing for me was Gas X the ones that dissolve on ur tongue got from walgreens I stayed away from the pain meds and also a heating pad is wonderful I know exactly what you are talking about I was weak for 4 days it's now I am feeling much better I thought it would never end but if you can get the Gas X strips and the heating pad and WALK it helps alot hope you feel better soon and remember it's for the best and we are strong !

I am 11 day pre op and this has been really hard for me I think it is because I have to cook dinner everyday for my family the hubby does not know how to cook and then to top it off I have cheated like 3 times already and I get sick then I feel sooooo guilty did this happen to anyone else? I am scared to think I didn't shrink my liver enough I am trying so hard to stick to PURE liquids till Wed when my surgery takes place but it has been a struggle !

Congrats and it is great to hear all these things I go in wed and I can't wait well good luck and keep us posted !

I soooo feel u im on day 7 and i almost lost it yesterday too lol I went to cook dinner for my family and I soooo wanted to give in I took a chip put it in my mouth and spit it out but let me tell you the taste was AWESOME lol omg I can not wait but I guess like these ladies said it's all going to be worth it mashed potatoes and gravy down sound too bad but I wish you the best of luck and remember WE CAN DO THIS!

Thank you Schrei! and congrats on the weight loss

Congrats and Much Luck tomm keep me posted !
