I just want to tell my story ... nobody get my brags like fellow bandsters. It all started January 2012 I stepped on a scale and realized I weighed more than. I ever did pregnant. I had reached 260. I had started hiding from pictures. Nothing fit right... my kids would make comments like "mommy has a big tummy" or commercials would come for weight loss or tummy wraps to make you look smaller and my daughter would say mommy you need that. I had no energy was depressed. I didn't even let my husband touch me. I had enough. So I went to my Dr we tried a life wellness program. And in it didn't work. In march she suggested I look into the lap band. So I agreed to go to the seminar and after a lot of research I agreed. I went for the appointment with the surgeon and pa. My surgery was approved and I got banded may10. I don't know if I was more excited that it was surgery day or if I would soon be off that liquid diet lol Everything has been great I've lost about 90lbs and still counting. I got sick and had to refill all over again lol. I am soo happy that I did it. I now work and do sports and have plenty energy to play with my kids. My kids say mommy has a little tummy my boys tell me how pretty I am. I got called a "little thing" by one of my residents. I am in a size 10 (was busting out of a 22) and weigh 170. Oneder land lol ...I still have about 30 pounds till goal but I feel GREAT!!! Now I must go my kids are waiting to play water fight in the hot Texas heat

Hey may bandster I haven't been on in along time... I have gotten my second fill and have quite a bit of restrictions I have lost 30 lbs since pre op I am having a hard time getting water in but other than that am doing great

I went to the Dr on the 7th of June. Found out the surgeon had put 2cc in at surgery. I was starving so they put 2 more cc in. I am still starving but definantly have more restriction. I have lost 15lbs since surgery. I hope everyone else is doing great

Yes mine did I would wake up in the middle of the night itching my incisions

So I have been browsing LBT fOr a few weeks n I have been in the process of getting everything together to submit to my insurance company. Well I just found out that my thyroid is out of wack and that they won't do the surgery till it is under control. Anyone else delt with this? How long does it take to get ur thyroid under control?

I was told by a 3yr veteran to put ur hands above ur head and walk at the same time Lol hope it helps

I went to the seminar mar 5th n had my surgery yesterday lol so there was a few weeks that where booked lol good luck

Well as of 9am this morning I am a banded woman lol... I am feeling pretty good just like I did a thousand sit ups... The worst part for me was the anastsia mad me nausea so when I woke up I was dry heaving cause there was nothing to puke up so that hurt... I am still a lil groggy and not really hungry so I have been just doing water.. Well I hope all my other may Banders are doing good n healing well and good luck to all the up coming ones post more when I feel better later

My day is tommorow as well can wait to get started .... Best wishes to all my other may 10th banders
