Yes - my co-worker had the sleeve done march09 and I did the band march09 - We are both doing great. both the band and the sleeve are still working great for both of us. We both still just have just a few more pounds to lose however both the band and sleeve are very different. she can eat somethings I cant and I can eat things she cant.

It Happened Last Night - 1st Stuck & I PB'd
LJB replied to 65DueceCoupe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yep that will happen if you eat to much to fast. It would happen to me all the time. Now I know the feeling and never take the last bite of food to avoid PBing. I try to PB as softly as possible so I wont cause my band to slip out of place. Im a pro now. Gook luck to you. -
choke on chicken, PB steak, but can eat pizza fritta?

Yes, I know what you are talking about the good food is hard for me to get down sometimes. But the bad foods just slides right down no problem. my band is tight and I get so tired of PBing all the time that I eat not so good food just to enjoy by dinner without PBing. Do you know what I mean?? Some days I can eat chicken just fine but other days no-way will it stay down. Im still really happy about my weight loss so far and really happy I got the band. Im wishing you the very best! -

Is this really worth it??
LJB replied to MrsBerggren's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh yes! I have been in your shoes. I would say things started to get much better for me around the 6 month mark. I now have a much better understanding on what foods work for me and what do not. Wow! This has been hard work and giving up certain foods and only able to get a few bites at the diner table is hard when it tastes so good. But that's ok because I have weight to lose and it is coming off sometimes fast sometimes very slow but its working and now at 8 months with the band I'm having a wonderful time shopping for smaller outfits. I'm at 6CC's now and yes it is tight. Best of everything to you and keep your eye on the prize. You are worth it. -
I love to sleep on my tummy but it took five long months before I was able to be on my tummy comfortably.

Exercise- How long did you wait to start after surgery?
LJB replied to BonMag's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told by my doctor I could go to the gym at around my 5th week post op. -
Hello - Does anybody want to share a one year anniversary story with us? How much weight have you lost and what did you do on your one year anniversary day.

HI!! I feel great. I was having some doubts the first few days, but man i feel so good.. I go for my 2nd dr.appt Tuesday! I am hoping to be put on mushy foods, if not I am ok with waiting. I have tried to eat very chewed up food.it keeps getting stuck and I don't like taht feeling so I will just wait. (I also have gotten so bad "side effects" from not eat reg. food for so long. after "moving along"the food doesn't digest right! yuck!!) so all is going good.. I am down 12lbs so far from surgery.I can't wait to see what he tells me Tuesday!! I am so glad you asked.. I have been nuts with school starting, so i apologize for taking so long to get back to you...I will definitly keep you posted...
