Welcome aboard.... had surgery this May. lost 40lbs so far... pre-op diet was the hardest..it gets easier.. get used to the protein shakes and bars because they have become a BIG part of my diet..

Banded on May 25th with a starting weight of 234. Current weight is 208. I am 5'3 and last year I weighed 262. I lost some weight on my own, but I started to gained it back, so I decided to end the yo-yo cycle. I have had only one fill so far. My decision to get the band was based on my desire to live a healthy lifestyle. I wish you the best on this journey.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with Bubble Gut....just had my first fill today...8weeks post-op

Welcome to my world... I had surgery on 5/25, Ive lost a total of 25lbs. I gained about 3 when I started solids, but my surgeon didn't feel that I needed a fill since I did lose 4lbs. Went on vacation and gained 3, but since then I have lost about 6. Next visit is scheduled for Monday... thinking I may need a fill. I get full pretty quick, but I get hungry in 3hrs. Still working out and making smart food choices, guess it's all about patience now... Stay strong, we will make it through this!!!

I bought some equipment from our local thrift shop and I joined Curves..its very low impact and easy. (30 minutes)

Welcome...I researched the process online first and found a local lap band surgeon. Registered for a consultation. Met with doc and nutritionist to discuss procedure, risks and benefits. Discussed insurance coverage and additional cost. Talked things over with family. Prayed!!! Received approval letter from insurance. Scheduled surgery, started pre-op diet (2 weeks before surgery). Registered at hospital and completed blood work and EKG. Had surgery, another 2 weeks of liquids. Then mushies, soft foods and on to solids. Didn't need a fill at second Dr visit. Whew..hope this helps.

I have tons of clothing sizes 16W-20W. Dresses, dress and casual pants, capris and blouses. No charge!! Just pay for shipping cost. I live in the East Texas area. Reply if interested.

Hello... I was banded 5/25. I too had a hiatal hernia and it took at least 7 or 8 days before I had an appetite. Today was my second dr. visit and I didn't need a fill. So far things are going great. Eating without any trouble at all. I haven't tried any tough meats like ribs or steak, just ground beef, turkey, chicken and fish. I hope all continues to go well with you... Stay Strong!!

Officially started my exercising routine.... I started curves today. It looked pretty simple at first... but man!!! I am really out of shape. The 80 year old woman next to me, put me to shame. It took a while, but I think I got it now. Sitting at home, thinking about how my life has changed over the last few weeks. No more pigging out with my friends, no more sitting around eating and watching tv. I am truly loving my Life right now. Dr. appointment tomorrow, not really looking forward to getting a fill, maybe I won't need one.
