December 21, 2012 was my surgery date and starting weight was 298lbs........ As of today I am down 109lbs!!!!! I now weight 188 and it is the the most amazing feeling. I have so much energy now. I eat very well and work out 5x a week. Lap band was the best decision for me!!!! Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

It was fast but I have followed my doctors instructions to a T.... I don't ever cheat, drink or over eat. I work out 5X a week and I count every calorie I bite, lick or taste. Good luck to you all, you can do it!!! Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I am loving this band. I started out at 298 lost 20 lbs preop and have lost 51 lbs since surgery. I work out 5 times a week and eat very healthy. I feel amazing and have so much energy to spend on my kids. Best decision ever!!!! Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

You can have anything that you blend to the consistency of baby food. Refried Beans, creamy Soups and yogurt are good to have. You should never feel rushed at your doctors office. Take your time and talk to him about all your concerns and thoughts. Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I am a month in a half post op and am feeling amazing. I have lost 31 lbs since my surgery and 54 with preop. My NSV occurred while talking to a coworker. I'm a very handsy person when I talk... The bracelet that I got 3 years ago for valentines day and had to make my husband take back to add links so it would fit came flying off while I was talking. I didn't even care that I almost lost it, I was so excited that it was to big. I'm on the next link and can still slip it on and off. It feels so good!

I don't have a plication. I also have 10.5cc band and feel enough restriction not to need a fill. I'm down 22 lbs since 12/21 and feel satisfied after 1 cup of food. Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

We are both doing awesome and definitely band sisters! I would love to go as long as I can without a fill. I know everyone is different but my doc said he has patients loose 100 with the band alone and no fill. Good luck on your continued loss! Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I went for my month check up and was really excited. I was banded 12/21 and since preop I lost 18lbs and 22 since surgery. I feel soooo good and the doctor said I didn't need a fill. How many of you have lost a significant amount of weight without a fill? Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

That sounds really good and very healthy! Going to try that. Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

That's a great idea! My kids would love that. I have to try it and the rounds will be easy to proportion. Adrianna - Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk
