Hello Im back just wanted to say ho

Hey mission control: here it is five months after surgery on planet banded. All is going well and I now am a changed astronut. I have lost five pant sizes and three shirt sizes. I have had to visit the local clothing store but this is a new experience for me, I have always shopped with omar the tent maker and they dont have TENT makers on this planet. Thank God for that. Now I have tokens left to outfit the spacecraft properly and not just with hughe tents to cover the old frame. Now I look like a sleek mean fighting machine and can take on anything that comes my way. I am so grateful that I have other astronuts.........on the same planet because it would be horrible if I were trying to do this alone. It must be done with others and follow the experience of those that have gone before me. The secreat is to follow and then become a leader once the goals have been reached . I will be starting a new meeting here on lap band planet for others to meet and greet at, we will be exchanging uniforms and food supplement ideas. anyone wishing to attend the meeting just needs to let me know if they are in the area or I can give them the info that they need to help them get their ideas set into motion by sending me a message at boiseman2001@yahoo.com . have a grt day:scared: :nervous :confused:

My first goal was to LOOSE, reward was new clothes, My second goal to loose 100lbs that will be a new suit, my next goal will be a tatoo also of an eagle because like the eagle it soars high and that is what I will continue to do.

Thanks but it looks like you need it more than I do.......................have fun with it.

its way to soon for you, follow your docs instructions, I am four months out following the instructions to the T and have lost 87lbs thus far..........It will work if you do the right things

Im not fat, I am just fluffy

Nope, only you can save you from yourself, its called willpower and we all have it, in some it was just burried deeper than others.

You have a misconception of the band, it is a tool , you are not going to give up food, just eat alot less of it and only the right foods. Read and learn more it will work for you. I was banded four months ago and am down 86lbs currently.

I was bmi 52 now I am a 42bmi. Work the plan it does work

Hey bigreddog, welcome to the gone for good club, I was banded in Idaho on April 17,06 and am currently down 87lbs. Work the plan do what your docs tell you and dont listen to all the trash from others who are not working the plan and only losing when they thing they want to. Have a great day.boiseman2001@yahoo.com

The person you spoke to does not have correct info, First of all its different for each person. I was banded April 17,06 and I have lost to date 87lbs. My goal was to hit 100 gone befoe xmas. This will be done within the nxt 60days for me with the regiment I have put myself on. I would do this again in a heart beat and highly recomend it for everyone who is having the weight issues

Yes I aggree with NJCHICK, its a tool and its only as good as you use it correctly, thus far I am down 86lbs and have never never never felt as good as I do now. This is in all category's self esteem is high finally once in my life. Dont get me wrong, I have always felt good about myself, but now I feel great about myself

Welcome to the gone for good club.....

This is a great place to get info, there are a great multitude of Docs who do the surgery. I was self pay(21000.00) Idaho. There are Docs in Mexico who do it for far less but I did not want the risks, and I needed the support here. Contact your local hospitals and they will give you info on who is doing them, then attend one of the seminars and ask lots of questions. I considered doing the gastric but after the seminar I knew the lap band was the one for me. I have lost 86lbs in just shy 4 months. good luck and if you want any more info or I can tell you my ups and downs on the band, you can reach me boiseman2001@yahoo.com
