  1. Well - Its been a long time since I have been here. Lost a total of 58 lbs and well. Now. I am expecting baby #3 (Due 6/12/15) - I've had my band empited at around 16-17 weeks as i was having a very hard time keep down anything and everything. I cant wait to get back on my lapband wagon and continue the success of losing :)

    Dr. Alan Geiss

    HI All, I recently joined after I have been stalking thsi site. I am still in my research mode and now I need your feedback. Has anyone used Dr. Alan Geiss out of Syosset Hospital. I am looking for ALL feedback. Good, bad or indifferent. I went for a consult and really I did'nt have an opinion just yet of him. Seemed, OK. Thanks!

      so glad to see positive posts. I knew you would get there even when you were so down...it was just hard for you to see past the tough beginning you went through.

      thank you! It truly is getting better, just hard to see it sometimes, but def saw it last night when I was packing up the much larger sizes. hard to believe, just hopeful it continues so that I am fully out of what I call "fat lady clothes".

      Isn't it a great feeling to pack up those clothes? I have a big black trash bag full of clean, folded clothes. I add to it each week. Need to find a consignment shop to resell them.

      I am a workin on it!! Running around so much this morning it's not even 3:00 and I'm pooped!

  11. @@Crystal76 I feel EXACTLY what you say. In fact, I think our stats are VERY similar and I have also had 2 fills. Going to see my dr tomorrow. I'm so discouraged at this point
  12. 3.5 post op and I think the "Honeymoon" is finally over. Scale didnt move this month, actually it did go down a few but now its back to where I started. Why is it when I get a fill I am sooooo good with restriction for the first 2 weeks and then BAM - its over?!?!?!?!? Feeling disappointed :(

      can't respond to "fills" issue (i was sleeved) but sounds like you have stalled - don't worry i doubt honeymoon period is over yet - good luck

      Me Too :(

      I'm almost 4 months out and the scale has moved maybe 2 lbs...maybe. I was told to "be a little bad, eat some carbs, sugar, for a few days, then go back to good eating habits" to give your system a little jump start. Good Luck!

  13. such a downer seeing that scale going up instead of going down :( Def not looking to have a pity party, but I sooooo need to re-evaluate this. BIG SIGH

      I wouldn't spend a lot of time focusing on that. "Hold the vision and trust the process." Smile and remember how far you have come.

    2. gowalking

      do you know why the scale is going up? If you are following your meal plan and exercising, just stay away from the scale and look for the NSVs. If you are doing something that explains the gain, stop doing it. Come to the next support group meeting...I think we're going to hold it on LI. Lisa is rently following up with a possible venue

  14. Grrrrrr! Up 4.6 lbs because of TOM this week. HATE YOU! Upside is i do feel & see the NSV. Just wanted that scale to move down, not up.

      I feel your pain. I get so bloated and gain so much water during shark week. It's only temporary!!

  15. UGH! TOM = +2.5 lbs!@ GO AWAY!

      The good news is that it will go away in a few days. Don't stress it.

    Protein

    How much Protein should I be getting post op? I am 8 weeks out, completely slipped my mind. And how do I measure sliced deli meats such as turkey and chicken? Do I need to get a scale and weigh them or is a few slices (2-4 thin slices) enough or too much? TIA
  23. I was banded 5/14, the day before you. I have had 1 fill - that was 3 weeks ago. They put in 2 cc, and I had .8 in there from the surgery, so a total of 2.8 cc. Since my fill, I have lost 8.6 lbs. Not bad, but I do not think I am in the "green zone" just yet. I have better restriction, but still eat way to much at one sitting. I will say I have lost a total of 23 lbs since sugery & 33 lbs since pre-op diet, so it is working just very, very, very SLOW! I see the doctor again next Friday and I think they will leave me alone, no fill.
  24. WOOT WOOT! I am starting to see NSV in my clothes. Just ordered some "smaller" sizes to get thru the summer and into the fall :) FINALLY a victory I am HAPPY about! Do the HAPPY DANCE with me!!!!!

      This is Pamela from wantagh, my surgery is finally 4 days away, i was so sad and down after I got postponed I just couldn't sign on and talk to any of the people who I started to have some good conversations with. Want to walk Jones Beach Boardwalk once I am able to start my exercise again?

      YES!!! I love it! Unfortunately, it can be a pricey NSV, but it is still awesome. Way to go!
