I can do!!!! Lapband is a tool. You still have to do the work. This site will give you support but you need someone close to you to encourage you. I love your list because it sounds like mine. I was banded on April 2. Preop started 3/19 and I'm down 35 pounds. There was one week I didn't lose. But I love the way I'm looking. I have about 100 still to lose but I will make it. Good luck!

I can do bread but later in the day and it has to be toasted a little. Flour Tortillas not so much. They get too sticky but corn go down find. I love my bread too.

Got my first fill last Monday. I bled bad (had to get a second band aid) after I bled on my pants. But a week later I still have a bruise that doesn't seem to be healing. It doesn't hurt and was wondering if I should worry about it. Thx

I'm down 26 pounds, preop 16.5. Surgery April 2.I was new a month ago so welcome. You will find alot of I formation and support here. I was banded on April 2. Pre op diet since 3/19. I have lost 23.5 pounds as of last Sunday. I only weigh on Sunday. Good luck on your journey.When I applied for banding the first time 3 years ago, insurance turned me down because I didn't have 3 of their 5 diseases. Even though 4 of the dieseases were in my family. I applied again in July last yast year still with no diseases and was accepted but had to go through nutrient classes for 6 months. I will do this for me and my family. I'm 43 with hubby and 2 teenage boys. I wanted to go hiking with my boys like I use to. I wanted to grow old with my husband. I want to play with my grand kids. These are my top reasons for doing this. Oh and to NOT get even 1 of their 5 diseases. LolBut if it helps control gulping. I don't seem to have that problemI do and they do help with the stomach gas but the gas pains in my neck not so much. But the heating pad has been my friend.With Pre op diet for 2 weeks and 4 days since surgery; 20 pounds.16.5 pounds.The plication is a new pleating system used with the band. It is still in trial phase.
