Children!!! why because were still young and taking control of our health and weight before were 50 plus and can enjoy our healthy hot bodies while were still young yes that totally makes us children!! Ooh watch out someone other than the cliquey comment on every damn post I know anything and everything, on this forum 24/7, has an opinion and advice and because I'm not 50 plus or five years post OP it makes anything I say incorrect right!!?
I don't and haven't puked, I've never been stuck, I eat a half cup of food because I'm full after that so just an fyi I'm not successful from a tight band I'm successful as I eat healthy, eat small portions and I work my @$$ off in the Gym 6 days a week and have been doing so 4 months before I was banded!!
Have a nice day old timer!!!

I'm right there with you.. I weigh every morning. I was banded Aug 28 and I'm down 58 &I feel like it's never enough.. I think my thing is I want to be in the 100s so bad and I won't be happy until I'm there. My fiance keeps telling me your only 7 weeks out and have lost almost 60lbs be happy your doing amazing...
Just remind yourself how good your doing maybe put sticky notes on your mirror to remind yourself.. Keep up the good work!!

My bands far from tight. I have 4cc in my band I eat a half cup of food I'm full for five hours that doesn't mean my band is to tight if it was I'm sure my Dr would be taking Fluid out.. If I was told all the band does is satisfy you and toot can eat as much as you want I wouldn't of been banded. It definitely does restrict your portion sizes... I've learned not to argue with the lapband knw it alls who have the same answer on every response they make.. To each there own. My bands working I'm losing weight, I've lost half what I need to lose in 7 weeks with eating healthy eating less exercising six days a week and it was 20 grand well spent to get my health and rockin hot body back

Love it.. I'm not a online forum clique kind of person and I'll speak my mind and I don't care if its not what the cliques want to hear as this forum has a clique anyone can point out!! same answers on every post no matter what the question (chew chew, no more than a cup of food, satisfy, it isn't no restrict, call your Dr or my favorite follow your Dr instructions no solids at all) pretty sure we all know that we did have the same surgery as you!!

They scheduled at 3 weeks 5 days. Didn't get one though since I was losing a lot of weight and was barely eating. I'm scheduled next week at my 6 post op mark but I doubt they'll fill me as I'm still barely eating and still rapidly losing do it all depends on the Dr and also.the circumstances

I was actually 293 in that first picture and 250 in the second.. I'm 5 foot 10 and a half so I wear my weight well thank goodness

Thank you every one, I finally hit my first goal to be under 250... I weighed 248 yesterday I love that it just keeps melting off, it's the best feeling!! 48lbs down surgery date August 28!! Best decision I've ever made!

Its definitely a different pain then my infusion pains and I'm a little weazy no hernia repairs.. I'm going to call my Dr just to be safe!

I was banded Tuesday and my lungs are killing me and I'm coughing up phlem is this normal?

im afraid there are no magic quick fixes... use a heating pad, keep up the meds and most of all... just relax and give your body the time it needs to heal. ive been there... there is no short cut im afraid.
