I started on MFP but got discouraged using it because I have no support on there. Doing this alone. I would like buddies on there to help me. Add me slomeli84.

Hey fellow WLS peeps. Looking for Tx area people. Looking for friends with common interests.

Hey looking for a buddy in Spring, Tx. I got banded on the 22nd of November. It would be nice to have someone I can chat with or hang out with or work out with that's going through the same thing as me. It's tough facing this journey alone. Besides having my mother in my corner.

Hey how's it going? I picked the band because the sleeve and the bypass are just way to drastic. And your weight comes off too quickly, I want be able to tone some of this skin while my weight is coming off slowly. Buy for me at being 29 and weighing at my heaviest of 330 I don't think my skin will snap back. I'm going to have to deal with excess skin.

Not close to Austin but I'm in Spring. I got banded on the 22nd of November and lost 23 lbs so far.

You might have some Fluid in there but of course not enough. Not exactly right after your fill. That's the point where we're trying to get too. It may take a few fills to reach that. But if course people have different experiences with that.

Just got my first fill today. Everything went well. But for some reason I'm getting this pain in my shoulder. Something like what our gas pain is like after surgery. My question is, has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you so much. That helped alil and made me feel more at ease. I did call my doctor, just waiting for him to call me back because he's not in his office.

Thanks for sharing. I just hit my one month yesterday. I don't mind the scars cause I have lots of them but once this completely heals I'm going to try that Mederma. I wonder if that stuff really works.

Hey everyone. Questions, how many incisions do you have? Are they all the same size, where is your port located?
I have 5 incisions, 4 small and one that's about an inch or so long. My surgeon put my port right underneath it. This is incision is taking forever to heal. I was thinking maybe because my port right right there.

Thank you for sharing. I'm waiting for my first fill cause I wanna be able to fill how this band really works. Yeah I know it's not all the way filled up, so that way I can form my new stomach. And the restriction isn't right enough so it's allowing me to eat a little more. But as far as it's working, I can tell it is. I'm getting full faster but it doesn't last long. So far it had helped me lose 23 pounds in two weeks. The thing I'm wondering about and maybe you can answer it, how did you deal your bodies excess skin, if you had any? Did it just form on its own and fall right into place, with the dieting and a routine work out.

Well at first I went through my regular doctor and got nowhere. Then I saw true results on the tv. They worked with my insurance, had to do four months with them. Blood work, had to talk with a nutritionist, and did a couple of tests for breathing and heart monitoring. Started this back in June and already got my lap band.

Just got my lap band two weeks. Going in for my for fill on the 23rd. I actually can't wait to get it cause I fill myself getting hungry again after a few hours that I've eaten.
