Lady Lap Band

I love my band I had it done when I was 22 in 2009. I have lost 102lbs so far. Best decision I have ever made. =)

Surgery on 6/19/09 Start Weight 252lbs Today I am 150lbs. It took me 2yrs & 4months to loose 102lbs

I finally fit into this category, yay! I have lost 102lbs!! 12lbs left till my goal!

You dont have to work out hardcore at all. I basically lost 80lbs without really exercising much. I just made small changes like taking the stairs parking far away from the door of the shopping mall. If I need a coffee I go in instead of going through the drive thru. Now that I am smaller, I am finding it hard to loose that way though.

I have a Bodybugg....I LOVE IT. It works really really well so long as you actually do what you are suppose to do. =)

Jackie Warner. She has an amazing Circuit Training DVD. The lower body is 15 minutes long and you would think that is not long, but it is lol. It works amazing! http://www.amazon.com/Personal-Training-Jackie-Power-Circuit/dp/B002L6HDAQ

I have not hit my goal just yet, I have a little more to go but I've lost about 95lbs and wanted to share my progress pics with you all!

Wait until after the cruise for a fill, for sure. I went on my first cruise in May 2011 and I had a pretty easy time food wise. If I went to the buffett it was easy because I could choose what would work for me. If I went to the dining room there was a wide enough selection that I always found something. I think you wont have a problem.

Congrats willowcat!! Mine is coming up on the 19th!!!! Email me sometime ladylapband@verizon.net I would love to chat!!

I have 11 days until my 2 yr bandiversary. Right now I am 86lbs down and have 28lbs til goal. I am hoping to reach it sometime in Sept. 2011

yes and no, lol that is such a complicated question. For me it depends on where I am at restriction wise. If I am really tight then Water fills me up short term. If I am not really tight then it runs right through and does nothing. If I am drinking something of substance though like a latte made of all milk.....that satisfies my hunger for a while.

The gym/trainer want 100% of the recognition for your transformation. There 3 legs to the tri-pod..... 1 - working out 2 - eating better 3 - lap band WIthout all three the tripod will tip over. Don't let what anyone says derail you. The lap band is hard, not easy at all.

Now almost 2 years after my surgery I have really come to realize that without exercise daily......I either stay the same or gain a little. You don't have to kill yourself...just get 15-30 minutes of cardio movement each day. Try to up it to at least 5 days.

How old are the kids? That will probably play a big part. If they are old enough to get ready alone and can get food on their own then I would think you would be ok but if they really rely on you for everything, you are going to be down and out that week.

I'm a June Journey 2009 Bandster! I am really excited for you all to start your journey!!!

I did say that "I think it takes 4 hours". Absolutely consult your own doctor to find out the correct answer.

It's a hiatal hernia that a lot of people have. It's a part of your stomach that pushes through your diaphragm up into your chest. It happens to a lot of people who are obese. I didn't tell people about my WLS so those I had to tell I was having surgery I told them that I was having that repaired and no one questioned it, worked out well for me.

Mine is like that too! As you loose weight your band gets looser and you need another fill....also your hormones play a huge part. The week before my period I am so tight I can hardly eat and then I am back to "normal" after that. You are not alone I have the same weird stuff happen to me too!
