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

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
