Just wanted to share a happy time! I weighed this morning and I am 6 lbs under my first after surgery goal weight. Now to work hard and stay under to hit my next one!! Hope everyone has a great day and keeps hope alive!

Congrats keep on going!!!

Thank you I'm so excited!!!

I found out today I'm 3 lbs away from my first lap band surgery goal!!

Due to medical reasons I'm unable to do much exercise right now and I'm sure that is my problem. But I walk all that I can.

So Here I am five months out and I've lost 35 lbs but I feel like I'm not loosing fast enough. Or enough at all. I'm 15.3 lbs away from my first weight goal and can't seem to reach it. I feel like I'm running out of steam. Just at a loss and want to sit and c. Can anyone give me advice on this?

Yes too bad they don't super secure them down

Thanks I'll let everybody know

Went for my first bill today in my port has flipped 180 degree. Now I have to have another surgery to fix my port. Luckily it's an In N Out surgery and I'll only have to say one day.

Thank you for the info!

Got my lap band on 4/1/14 and don't feel much different but have lost 26 lbs so far. Am scared on how first fill will go, and how much it will restrict me. Was really hoping to have lost more by now but am feeling good about what I have lost. Any ideas of how the fill will go?

Im trying to connect with new surgeons I think... I cent handle the stress this other place is bringing me.

First was because white blood cell count was high but had already been signed off by my reg. Dr that my cell count normally runs high, then they cancelled cause my lungs were clear but I had a scratchy throat then they cancelled cause my bmi was to high but they have never told me that my bmi had to be at a certain number to have the operation. Each time an eight hour drive for me. Such a waste of money.

Im starting to think im just being put off. Very discouraged. Have worked at this almost five years now.

8 days away from scheduled surgery date and still dont know if my doc will sign off on me to get the surgery or not. Find out on the 30th after blood work to see if " im just a person with a normal high white blood count" nothing like white knuckling it to the last moments!

Hi everyone! I just joined this forum and I am hoping to learn a lot from other people with the band. My surgery is scheduled for February 14th!

Welcome! Hope you find many friends here!! Your going to do great with your wls!

Well I haven't had the chance to be on in what seems like forever... but I thought I would catch you all up! After a long two week search I finally found a cab to take me the four hours to the hospital where my surgery is! And I got re-connected with my older sister after eight years of not speaking! She is very encouraging of me and the lap band! Shes even going to bring me home from the hospital so I dont have to wait for another cab! Excitement all around!!

WOW!!! That is fantastic! 123lbs! My doctor gave me a diet plan on my first visit and told me to start applying little changes here and there. That way, by surgery time, there wouldn't be as much fat on my liver. I have been reading about the 14 day liquid diet (pre op) some people are on..... kinda terrified over here! That thing looks hard core! But if it means the difference between getting banded and not getting banded, BRING IT!!!

You can do it I believe in you! My surgeon only wants me to have liquid from midnight the day before. So I guess no big pre op diet for me but I'm still eating well and eating small!

I was dieting by choice my dr and dietitian got together with me and we put together a plan and a goal for me to lose 100 lbs before my surgery. I went for a weigh in on Thursday and I've lost 123lbs so far! It's been a long almost five years trying to get this lap band, I'm glad that soon I will have it and I can focus on my goal weight!

Right on!

My surgery date is feb 4th! My doctor said no food or drink after midnight the night before. Very interesting , though to be honest I don't know if I could stick to an all liquid diet for that long so kudos to those that have !

Yay! Banded on the same day! I have to give props out too, you guys rock for your pre surgery diets!

I'm only on a liquid diet the day before my surgery. Wonder why this varies so much between doctors?

Just found out today that my surgery date is going to be February 4th! Totes psyched! Too bad it's such a long wait after my pre-op which was on the 6th of January.
