Carrie where in hurst are you?

Anyone use dr Adam smith at ft worth lap band???

Glad your doing well, I can't wait to get sleeved on tues and get this out of me

Well the Iband sucks I don't recommend it to anyone!! I get mine removed tues

I'm having surgery tues with dr davidson )

I'm having a revision band to sleeve. Super nervous!

Really my dr said only 3 days before.

730am!! Where are yall gettin sleeved?

My dr is only making me do a week before so I start tues. How are u doing? Who are u going to?

I could eat a lot more and I started having weird stomach pains after eating. I just want this out of me ;(

How far out are you? Just curious becaz I'm having mine removed next week. The plication came undone except for a few sutures;(( just wondering if anyone else had this happen

Hi there curious to know who out there has had the Iband at Fort Worth lap band or the gastric plication under band somewhere else?!? Any complications?? Thanks

Getting band to sleeve oct 28th! How do I join a support group??

Oct 28!!

Wait you are a revision to sleeve??

Way more difficult not eat more difficult lol

No it's eat more complicated than band to sleeve. The iband is the band and plication done on your stomach under the band. It was a clinical trial being conducted my some drs with true results.

Is there anyone out there that had the iband done with dr Adam smith in ft worth and had it revised to sleeve?? Currently in the process of trying to get my iband removed and converted to sleeve. Only problem is with the gastric plication done under the band hardly any drs will even talk to me!! I guess this plication in the long run can be harmful. Just wanna know if anyone has had this done thanks!

Where do u live?

Hey everyone! I'm a year post lap band and I've lost 50lbs but still have 40 to go! I need a walking buddy that lives in the hurst tx area or HEB area. I preferably would like to walk in the mornings. I need someone that can push me and vice versa. Anyone interested??

Ok I've had 3 fills so far and I'm at 7cc in a 10cc band and I'm still not at restriction!! At what fill and cc amount did you reach your green zone??

I know u don't want to hear this, but are you exercising??

I use the under lined principles of low carb/ high Protein and have had what I consider a good result. I try to keep carbs at around 35-40. I eat mostly lean Proteins ( at least 70g)' date=' followed by low cab veggies with the ocassional fruit. I keep calories to about 900. And while I do try to keep moving, I realy don't push it. about a 30 min walk or eliptical daily at a leisurely pace. (If I exercise too much more, I have found my appeite increases substanially and I want to eat more....probably more than I burn.---I do allow myself a few days each month to increase my carbs and calories. One, this lets my eat those carbs that I might be missing like fruit, english muffin, oatmeal..., but I also think it confuses my body and keeps it from getting to comfortable.

I have lost 42 pounds in 17 weeks,,,thats about an average of2.5 pounds a week. But the biggest difference is the way I feel!! Wow what a difference!! My energy level is 3 times what it used to be.

Now that I am under 195 pounds....I have noticed a slight decline in the weight loss department. Maybe more like a 1-1.5 pound loss weekly, so its my plan (starting next week) to shake things up. Start adding a few more calories and bumoing up the exercise a little....I might also lower my carbs to nothing for a couple of days in hopes of entering ketosis. Hopefully this will get the scale back up there to the 2 pound a week mark again.

If this is something you decide to try, I love exchanging low carb food ideas and recipes.---just let me know.[/quote']

Are you eating cheese or dairy at all?? I'm thinking of following an Atkins type plan. I have pcos and I'm suppose to avoid carbs and sugar like the plague!!

Thanks!! I'm a dairy freak!!! I don't know if I can live without my cheese!!

I need to hear from some Atkins or southbeach followers!! Anyone doing one of these diets and losing consistently? I'm stuck at a plateau and in thinking of going low carb
