I 20 months out after lapband and haven't been walking since summer so I joined a gym to try and get alittle more off but now I have gained...I am doing about 30 minutes cardio and rotating legs and arms machine....about 5 days a week....been doing this 2 weeks...is it normal to gain when you first start exercising and when will I start to lose...please help getting frustrated...

Thanks Ann, I wish I was doing as well as you but I'll take a loss anytime. Had to have a slight unfill so I'm hoping I can get back on track. Thanks again:)

Today is my 6th month Bandiversary I've lost 43 lbs and 35 inches!

Welcome! Oh how I wish lapband was available when I was in my 20's, I have had the band for about 6mos but I'm 48 years old and I only wish I could have done it sooner, go for it I don't think you will have any regrets!

Welcome back! I look forward to hearing about your experience. I don't post very much but I love reading about everybodies experience.
