Hello! I was told to take calciem with citrate and multivitamin with minerals and bloob thinner the first week

34 Male from Southern California. I was banded 6/11 and I'm also single.

Have you called the hospital and tried getting on a payment plan. Like give them $400 right now and the rest in payments. That how alot of people that I know did it. Be strong and God will guide you

Good job! Before you know you'll see the 199, keep up the good work

I agree with the first comment. The band is just a tool! You have to learn to eat healthy and exercise. You have to stop eating fried foods and all the food that make you big. I think your Dr should of sent you to a nutricionist, because you have to learn to eat healthy and to count calories. Wish you the best!

Keep up the good job!

Good job and congrats! Keep it up and you'll reach your goal!

Good Job!! Keep it up and you'll reach your goal!

After having the band for 2 months the Dr. said I'm doing great. I'm down 70lbs, I'm hoping to hit 100 lbs by the end of the year or sooner. I also didn't need a fill.

Good job and keep it up!

I go to the Dr also today. I don't know what to expect about the fill because I'm still losing. Let us know if the fill works for you.

I asked my Dr about drinking or eating 90 grams of protein and he said it was ok. I'm also comsuming 800-1000 calories a day.

I had the my surgery June 27, 11, I do notice i have the band if i eat too fast or dont chew my food well. I did change my way of eating. I have a protein shake fr breakfast and a banana if i get hungry. I still havent had a fill. Will be going to the DR. Tuesday, I know I been losing weight. Just stay strong and focused and you'll be fine. I always remember what my DR. said Stop eating when your satisfied. Thats what I been learning

Thanks Cheetah!

Congrats! I got banded June 27,11 and I gotta say 60lbs down!

Hello! Looking for people that have got the lapband and wanna start a Support group and even start a workout group

Thanks!

Does everyone get a fill after each doctor visit or does it depend on the weight loss?

I think you should go to the DR. you don't want to get an infection

Yeah me me your email or i'll send you mine and its always good to talk about the lapband struggle, good nite

At my work some people know, because I told them and other just think but they havent asked me about it. My friends also know and I'm willing to talk to anyone that wants to get info.

The thing i noticed people from Ventura county don't like saying that they got the band. before i got the lapband it was hard finding people to talk too. Good thing I found this site now!

Who did your surgery JEssy

I know St. Johns also has a weight loss support group
