  1. It has been over 2 years since my lapband surgery. I have had a roller coaster ride with my weight loss. I am now 130lbs happier!

  2. Happy 45th Birthday learningtoluvme!

  3. Happy 44th Birthday learningtoluvme!

  4. Hi, I went to Dr. Amin also. My surgery was in May '11. I jsut wanted to stop by and say hi and best of luck on your journey. How is it going? My weight lost is slow, but I'll take whatever. i'm hoping for a 3rd fill on 10/27. I need it. I only have restriction in the AM.

  5. I had my second fill on October 13th.. I weigh 170 lbs.. I was shocked at the weight loss..I am 55 lbs away from reaching my GOAL.. I would recommend Lap Band to anyone who is considering weight loss!!

  6. I had my first fill on Monday, September 12th. I had a 2cc done and I am still HUNGRY..I have some escalating back pain... starting from my stomach and the pain stays on the lower left side of my back. I don't know if the pain is caused by the port.. I am scheduling an appointment to see my primary care. Does anyone else have this pain? or is anyone else still hungry w/the fill and lap band?

  7. How is the weight loss going???

    Got my First Fill!!!

    Today was my first fill.. I only had 2cc's.. My surgeon had me swallow a full 16 oz bottle of water. I didn't have to vomit.. I only felt extremely full.. I wanted 3-4 cc's, but he thought it would be tight... I am still a little hungry.. This lap band isn't working for me!!.. I am thinking I should have tried gastric by-pass... We will see!
  9. I had my first appointment following my surgery two weeks ago.. It appears that everything is fine and I lost an additional 6 lbs.. I can't for the fill.. I stay very hungry and the HUNGER PAINS are really PAINFUL..Is that normal?

  10. Hello Mscaramel38: I want to Thank you for your words of wisdom..It was truly uplifting and made me feel the impossible-possible.. I will continue to pray and ask GOD for DELIVERANCE...I thank you for people like you.. Be Blessed and Thanks so much!

  11. I hope you are doing okay. You have not been on in a couple of days and I am concerned about you !!!! We all need support to get through and I am here for you.

  12. When will I learn to LOVE myself? I stay so unhappy and don't know why my husband loves calling me FAT and UGLY.. and told me this morning I will never be THIN and the LAP BAND was a waste of his PREMIUMS..I want to be HAPPY and if it wasn't for my girls I would end my LIFE..How do I leave? He is the main source of my income..SIGNED: HATE ME!

    Husband/Spouse is not Supportive and Negative!

    I want to thank each and every person who posted.. It has given me the strength and knowledge to do something about my situation and to stop feeling sorry for myself.. Counseling is on my to do lists first thing Monday morning.. Along with seeking the advice from an attorney. I never looked at my husband's comments as being abusive, but they are.. He is a heartless man and cares only about himself and has walked over me for the very last time.. This platform has given me so much STRENGTH and I can't say THANKS enough!..I am a school teacher and headed back to work next week and with the help of this forum and my girls, I WILL BE OKAY!.. Thanks and Love to each of YOU!
  15. I am posting today because my life with my husband is becoming unbearable and I feel that this marriage will not work.. He is very negative and not supportive.. I think he would have preferred I stayed unhappy and heavy..
