Today marks 4 months post op and I am 46lbs DOWN! I am at 300 exactly...soon I will be in the 200's, somewhere I havnt been in almost 10 years. To know that I will never be in the 300's again was so emotional for me this morning I just broke down crying. I seen it numerous time on the forums but its true.....the only thing I would of changed with this surgery is to of done it sooner!

I hear you! I had the same thing happen but today I weighed in and have lost 4lbs. I was losing 0 for over 3 weeks so its such a great feeling to know THAT, cause I'm sure there will be more, is over with. Hang in there, reading a lot of the same stories as yours so the positive thing to get from that is we are doing all the right things because we are, for the most part, all having the same reactions.

Banded February 15, so today marks my 3 month follow up with 40lbs lost so far. Feeling ecstatic!! Every day isnt grand, but the days that are makes up for the ones that arnt. It's still such a learning experience, but I'm loving it. After hearing a couple people on the forums talk about C25K I'm proud to say I'm on Day 2, Week 1. After the first day I wanted to scream!!! I couldnt believe I successfully completed the first day, I thought for sure I wouldnt be able to run 1 min, and really thought doing it 8 different times was out of the question. Being banded was the best thing I could of done for myself!!
Best wishes Bandsters!

I had my first fill yesterday. For dinner (which was about 2 hrs after fill) I drank my Protein drink and could only finish half of it. This morning I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheese and after the second bite could really feel the restriction. I never could finish a meal in the 20 min I should....until today.

My surgery was on a Wednesday and I was back to work that Monday. I too have a desk job, but walking to the printer down the hall was helpful.

Stace2882 Dont feel alone. I was banded on Feb. 15 at noon and didnt get to my room till almost 7pm. I take awhile to get out of anthestia. When I seen so many people prior to surgery saying how its only gas pain and even that isnt bad I had hope. But like you I wasnt so lucky. I had to stay the night while I see others were in and out from surgery in like 6hrs. Everyone is different and thats just fine. I was pretty sore when I got home and the worst of it was gas. I know they say walk, but it was so bad I didnt want to...but I forced myself and you burp and fart away, get it out of there. Not gonna lie but day 7 was my best day until then I just felt beat up really. It gets better! Started preop diet on Feb. 3 at 342lbs and am now 319lb as of this morning. Hang in there!!!

Tentative date of February 15th!

Well, I was banded yesterday at about noon. Took an hour for the surgery and 3 hours in recovery, didnt get discharged till this morning at 9am. To those who get in and out in just a few hours after surgery, kudos cause I got no idea how you did it. Like you see all the time, as did I, the gas is the worst of it all. I've been walking a lot to get it to come out and boy is it a pain in the ass. Good luck to everyone!!

GOOD LUCK!!!! To all the bandsters this month, I seen a lot of you have it tomorrow so just wanted you to know we are thinking of you, and waiting to hear how you are afterward.

I have PCOS and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 4 years. I finally decided that the doctors were right and that I should try and shed some pounds and I had lapband surgery on 7.26.10...here I am a year and half later and we found out that WE ARE PREGNANCT!!! It was and is a total shock and I feel so blessed...I am 7 weeks and on top of the world!
Oh and the best part is that I am due 7.26.12- my two year band anniversary.
Keep the faith ladies!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!! To all the bandsters this month, I seen a lot of you have it tomorrow so just wanted you to know we are thinking of you, and waiting to hear how you are afterward.

I 100% can relate. I literally minutes ago told my husband my emotions are everywhere. I'm on day 3 and have a headache and slight nausea the whole time. I cant believe food had that big of hold on me...now its just pissed and doing what it can to make me shove food in. We can do this!!! We have to push through it, we are in it till the end.
Good luck!
