Why is everyone saying lap bands are “a thing of the past” and “very risky” and getting angry at anyone who gets the lap band done?!

My gastric team that did my bypass wouldn’t do lap band because they were having too many issues

@Missouri-Lee's Summit anytime!I look forward to some interesting stories 😊

Not sure I lost 40 pounds on my two week pre op liquid diet.I stuck to it exactly.

@GreenTealael what does that emoji mean?

I drink 3-4 Red Bull’s each and every day.I have become Mr Werther’s b***h as I eat one to 2 bags of these a week,and I didn’t like them before surgery 😂

I never knew why I would binge eat even in childhood.After having my gastric bypass I learned what I suspected,I had ADHD.Since I’ve been taking meds for it I don’t binge eat,yes the bypass helps😂.If I had known this long ago I doubt I would have been overweight!

I think this would be a great idea.I’m not sure how all of you feel about it.Maybe I’m just getting old but I will always prefer talking to a person over looking at a screw.

Congrats @Roxine.You gotta show some progress pics if you ever want to.

Pleased keep us posted.I believe you can keep the weight from coming back!

Bravo!

Ugh just annoyed as all f**k I'm down 30 pounds but I don't see it!!!!! ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!! why can't my brain stop playing with me????? UGGGHHHHHHH

Wow I remember feeling that way after the pounds started coming off after surgery.I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and second guessing myself.I guarantee you anyone that sees you on a regular basis will notice your weight loss immediately.We are at most times our worst critic.The only advice I can give you is that we didn’t become our overweight selves quickly.It will take time for your body and mind to catch up to what’s happening!

@photogirl70 hopefully you get a good nights sleep!

@Someday I was pretty sore after mine.You definitely should address any concerns with your team.How long were you at the hospital after your surgery?

@Missouri-Lee's Summit yes that’s correct

@Krista27 I’m in Wyocena Wisconsin

@GreenTealael that’s a great idea thanks.

@Missouri-Lee's Summit I’m just in the morning process of starting to save up for the retainer now.,it’s 3500.Yes I do expect to get sole custody.Her mom will come and testify on the facts.I just wish I could get this over with.It sucks being alone.

What's your barrier to eating better food? If it's financial, I'm sure there are many ways to cut corners and still enjoy healthy meals. I used to live in Wisconsin, but I'm not familiar with your city. Are you far from grocery stores? Do you have a garden? Are you able to afford your Vitamins? (If you have to choose between food and your Vitamins because you can't afford both, I might be able to help you with your vitamins.)

I can’t cook,and my soon to be ex-wife keeps us broke.Its ok I just got vitamins opened my own bank account too!Thank you for offering I’m so thankful.You are an awesome lady.

@Missouri-Lee's Summit thank you.The next time I see my gastric team I’m going to see if they will print out my metric.I have been tested for cancer,autoimmune diseases etc.The only thing they can suggest is a lot of my weight issues are stress related.And I know I could do a better job at eating better food, but that’s a whole story in itself😂

I didn’t have dumping until I got to solid foods.You will know when it happens!Its horrible.You get extremely nauseous.What I mean is the kind where people look and you and ask if you’re ok.Cols sweats,rapid heartbeat.Whenever I would dump I would have to force myself to throw up.I am not telling anyone else to do that.I couldn’t handle the feeling it was too intense.I would throw up,then I was ok.

Not while you're married, it's not fair to any women you may meet.

That’s fair enough.Thsnk you for that insight.This is all uncharted territory for me so I want to go about things the right way.

I wish you were in Wisconsin

Ok so here I go.I’m very interested in lifting weights building muscle.For some reason since my surgery,I can eat 2500+ calories and not gain but maintain.For me to gain muscle am I going to have to really start knocking back Protein Powder or something?I’m new to this.I would appreciate any help!

So a question for everyone.I really feel like I want to at least start talking to women/getting to know them.No sex or anything even though I’m in pain from lack of it😂Would it be wise to just get to know them?
