Hang in there, I was banded on November 14th, 2007 and I have lost 92 lbs. I am at 8 cc in a 10 cc bands. Haven't had a fill in 3 months and I am feeling great. Eulete

Please don't cancel. I had the surgery a year ago and I have lost 92 lbs. Everyone body is different and everyone don't follow the rules. Do what your doctor says and you will be fine.

Hi Everyone, My one year anniversary is this week on November 14, 2008. I was banded on November 14, 2007 and at this time, I weighed 274 LBS. I am proud to say I have lost 91 lbs. Although, the 91 lbs sounds good, the best part is I can keep up with my nine year old son without being tired. Two weeks ago we raced across the football field after his practice and the first thing he said when we finished is mom you are not out of breath. I just smiled and say Thank you God for the opportunity to have good insurance that paid 100% of the cost to have the surgery, thanks for keeping me when I was so obese and thanks for keeping me on the right path to allow me to lose the 91lbs. Thanks for the BAND I will not trade it and it really works. I remember feeling down this time last year because I had let myself get so out of shape and now I look and say what a difference a year make. SO, if you are in the decision mode go for it. If you are in the beginning phase, stick with it and be patientm it will come off. Good Luck to all of you:tt1:

I have lost 65 1bs so far and I don't have a lot of loose skin. However, I have some stomach and I have been using this reshaping garment for it. This reshaping garment also helps to reduce your stomach by two sizes. I learned about the reshaping garment at a women's conference. I am using it and it works. I am now a distributor. If anyone want to know more about these reshaping garments please email me at eulete@yahoo.com for further information. Thanks Eulete Patrick

I think Dr. Waggoner does them if he wasn't the surgeon. However you will have to call to verify. He's located at 290 and Huffimister. I am not certian if this is close enough to you. Eulete

Sorry to here that. I had a hernia also, But, I guess mines was not that big because he repaired it and I did get the band. Good Luck with the other options.

I have lost 54 1lbs and have about 69 lbs to go. The journey has not been that difficult once you make the commitment of a life change. Congratulations to everyone and I am enjoying my new self,

Hang in there. I just had my third fill in March and I am at what everyone called the sweet spot. After my first three fills, I felt like you are describing. However, I just stuck to the plan (our plan of a life change). I stayed away from the bad foods and I limit myself. Every month when I went back to my doctor I lost between 6 to 8 pounds with out filling restriction. This month after 3 weeks and getting to the sweet spot, I have already lost 10lbs and I have a week before I need to see him. Hang in there, you will get to that sweet spot and when you do you will know. Thanks

Great Job, Can you tell me your exercise schedule. How many times a week and how long. Thanks Eulete

I had my second fill today. So seems like we are on similar schedules.

I work in an office and I only told my Director and the other two people in my group. However, since the weight has started to come off, at least ten people have asked me what was my secret. When they ask, I told them I had the lapband surgery. These people turned out to be a good support group and they haven't gotten really nosey about how many pounds I have lost or how many I have to go. However, it feels good when people notice that you are losing. Good Luck to everyone.

Congratulations. I was banded on 11/14/2007 so I am really just starting my journey. I joined 24 hour fitness and hired a personal trainer for my first five weeks to get me started on the right equipment. I am also going to do aerobics class. So it was nice seeing your post and getting some more encouragement. Keep up the good work. Life_Change
