whats a decision visit ive had the band but i never heard of that

definitely we can be lapband buddies yes i was in the hallway probably sitting in front of you i was sitting by myself i have brown hair my friend also got banded the same day im sure she would like to be buddies having a buddy gets you through alot i do get discouraged but she helps me through it since my first fill ive lost 7 pounds my second fill is the 21st of oct how much have you lost ive lost a total of like 42 pounds since i started everything ive went from 24/26 to 18/20 ive lost about 21 1/2 inches email and ill talk whenever you need to melissa.aguirre@amcore.com or melissa.aguirre@comcast.net:wink2:

i was banded june 30th started dieting may and have lost 43 pounds total ive lost 16 pounds since being banded i started at 266 im now 229 and ive lost 21 inches down to a 22 jeans and 18 capris

so have they did anything for you yet

first you shouldnt eat till your full you should try putting 400 cal per meal put protein first ive been banded since june 30th and ive lost 42 pounds total 20 pounds before and 22 pounds since being banded is all your weight after being banded i also lost 21 1/2 inches

they say its from lack of protein

hey i was banded june 30th and my preband weight day of surgery was 248 and as of today im 231 it seems when i walk i lose weight i was stuck on 232 since sept 3rd ive lost at least 21 1/2 inches

im shocked that theyre acting like that when i went they took me right away i hads a 7:00am appt and before i left they gave me another appt i would keep complaining you shouldnt be treated like that i would freak if they did that to me because i live all the way in rockford

i go to mercy also when you went for your postop appt you should have made your appt then i aslo was banded on 6/30/08 ive lost 16 pds since band and a total of 38pounds had my first fill aug19th go for my next fill 10/21 would have been end of sept but have court for 2 weeks so i couldnt make it 25 pounds is that all together or just since band since my last fill ive lost six pounds ive lost 21 inches total do you have dr lutfi

how do you get so much water in i try but its so hard

anybody have a problem with water weight everytime i lose i go 2 or 3 weeks where im going up and down with the same 2 pounds

i was banded june 30th ive lost 16 pounds since being banded but since may ive lost 38 pounds but ive lost 21 1/2 inches total but since my last fill ive lost 6 pounds which was aug 19th is that about right:tt2::rolleyes2:

I lost 22 pounds before surgery and now im down 38 pounds so since surgery ive lost 16 pounds since june 30th but everytime i lost 2 pounds i bounce back and forth between that 2 pounds for a week or 2

ive lost 16 pounds sincs june 30th but since may ive lost 21 inches

i asked my dr and he said i have ap band but its the 8cc small

i was banded june 30th ive lost 16pounds since being banded is that slow ive lost a total of 38 since may

i have a cup of oatmeal for breakfast cottage cheese and yogurt for lunch and meat vegetable and sweet potatoe for dinner if i want a snack i have sf pudding cup or sf popsicle

you should be eating sweet potatoes not white potatoes they turn to pure sugar

thats awesome i also was morbidly obese i started at 270 weight at surgery was 248 and now im 235

they say the average is 1 to 2 pounds a week so 5 pounds isnt to bad your doing good

yes i had one and dr fixed it in surgery

alot of women in the group say they exercise and eat right and dont and just expect a fill and they dont want to work at it so he implemented the six pound rule im sure if he knows your doing everything right he would give a fill anyway

i didnt gain anything i lost 22 pounds before surgery i went on a protein first diet hopefully you lose enough

and i was talking to dionna113 not you i should have put the name sorry if you got offended were here to help each other not talk bad about our drs

well then you should have worded it differenlty and not say my dr is in the wrong field because hes a great dr i didnt say i was a slow loser i said i was stuck on the same two pounds and then i lost four so maybe you should think before you post because it sure sounded like you were trashing my dr
