Lapbandster, of course your opinion counts. I am new to these forums too but I am just about 16 months post op and down 136 lbs. I am 23 and I know exactly what you are going through I felt the same way. I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was the single best decision I have ever made!

I am just about 16 months post op and down 136 lbs! I was banded April 27, 2011. I wish I would have found these forums sooner so many great tips and suggestions. Is there anyone out there who can recommend a good eating plan? I am high protein low carb right now but I feel like I am lacking variety and spinning my wheels since there are quite a few things that are harder for me to get down. Anything anyone has tried that works well and also things that I should avoid. Thanks!

I had my gallbladder out about three years ago, there was more pain than I had thought there was going to be though it was bearable. Mobility will be hard for the first week and your incisions and stomach will be tender for a few weeks. If everything goes smoothly you will be back to your old self in no time! Good luck!
