Hi Twinkle
It will be worth it. I would do it over 10 times if I had to. I had to do a 6 month diet plan before surgery for my insurance to cover it. I was banded on 9/24/08 and I am down 82 lbs! I love it. I haven't had any complications or problems. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and keep me posted on how everything goes!

Hey Blue
How are you doing? You are looking great! You are my inspiration. I am down 79 lbs so far. I can't wait to see where I will be at 1 year! I am exercising everyday and eating my normal portions. I have not had a fill yet which kind of worries me. I was banded 9/24/08. I went in to see the doc at 6 weeks and he did not want to do a fill. He said it would only make matters worse. I am still loosing so I am still happy. I will ask if he thinks I will need a fill at my 3 month check up. If not I am ok with that! How many fills did you have done? Well keep in touch and keep up the good work!

New with tons of questions
littlemissband replied to annjones's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Quite smoking!!! You do not want to go into surgery not being able to breathe. I smoked for about 10 yrs and stopped in 2003. It was still hard for me to breathe after surgery. Stop as soon as possible. It will save your health as well as your pocket book. Most people get 3-4 fills a year. It all depends on the person and what you are needing. If you go on vacation they can take fluid out of your band but just expect to gain weight. I have tried multiple diets and I went up and down over and over again. I have lost 63 lbs so far and I am still going down. I love my band and wouldn't trade it for the world. Good luck to you and your band journey! -
Any Regrets?!?
littlemissband replied to Brie_SDmamaofTwins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mamaoftwins It is normal to feel nervous and scared but there is nothing to worry about. I do not regret my band I think it is the best thing I ever did for myself. I was banded on 9/24/08 and I have lost a total of 63 lbs. Who would regret that. As far as the food I have not found anything that I am not able to still eat. The first fill may change that but it is still worth it. I went to a bridal shower where they had pizza I ate my applesauce and just thought to myself that they are gaining weight while I am loosing it. Always think of the possitive. You will do great! Good luck to you and your journey with your band! -
Just remember they do give you blood thinners so make sure you bring enough protection.

Clear Liquids?????
littlemissband replied to mljalways's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Clear liquids consist of Water, Crystal light, chicken broth, sugar free Jello, Sugar free popsicle, Decaffeinated coffee or tea, low calorie no sugar added apple, grape, orane juice without pulp(limit 4oz), Low-calorie cranberry juice, whey Protein supplements, or Isopure Liquid Protein. Yummy Yummy. Actually when you are on these you do not feel like eating so it is ok. -
Hi Java Beans I was banded 9/24/08. I was sore after the surgery but the procedure was done on a Wednesday and I was able to return to work on that Monday. I was still a little sore but all in all I was good. I have not had any problems with my band so far and hope to never have any. I do not regret my decsion nor would I take it out. I have lost a total of 58 lbs so far and I am looking forward to loosing more! I wish you the best of luck and hope your journey is a sucess.

Do you attend support meetings?
littlemissband replied to kaytiebugs's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes yes yes I love the meetings. I get so much out of the meetings. You can ask any question that is a concern for you and get the answers from people who have already lived it. I went before my surgery and I still go every month. I even went the day after my sugery!! -
Fight the urge!! Eat something that you can have or ask someone to move the pizza away from your desk. Don't fall off of your diet! It is very important that you follow what they say. Just think of it this way everyone that is going to eat that pizza will be fat and you will be skinny!! I hope this helps. Good luck :smile:

Hair loss!!
littlemissband replied to thunderstorm816's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get lots of protein more than suggested and I also use Pantene Beautiful Lengths shampoo. The shampoo is supposed to make your hair stronger to grow longer. I am not sure if it helps a lot or not. I do not shed but some of the proceeds of that shampoo goes to cancer patients that don't have any hair. :tt1: Good luck to you in your journey -
