Hi i live in desoto county.i guess i didn't realize that so many people were getting banded.yet so many insurances will not pay for the procedure.i wanted it so bad that i paid for it myself/credit cards.iwent thru the whole ordeal weigh ins consults. Nutritional classes

Hi i'm from the ms/tn area.had my lapband @st francis;dr. Weaver 12/23/8

Woow you did great! When i grow up i want 2 b lik u lol

i did a search there is a program called belite this woman had a lapband in2001 and seems to be capitalizing off the lapband concept talking about fills and cost

what i am saying is that i cant eat bread, pasta, rice,ground meat .that i really lose wt slowly does anyone else with the lapband have too exercise 1-11/2 hours too lose wt.62lbs over ayear with the lap band and exercise.i am working out harder since the lap band

I am a year post banding. A slow loser.ihave to exercise 1-2 hrs a day.i cannot eat raw fruits and veggies they make me plb.and give me severe gas.i can't eat bread,rice or pasta i have 40lbs to be at my goal

at first i was able to eat as before than after the 2nd fill i was unable to eat eggs ,bread, rice red meat.but one thing that i love and tolerate really well is carnation instant breakfast drink i like to put it in the freezer and let it get icy b/c at work it will take me 1-1&1/2 hours to completely finish and i am full and satisfied

you've done great a size 4 u dont need 2 lose probably just tone

hi i was banded 12/23/08.so far i have lost 62 lbs. 37 lbs from my goal

Please share your tips

I dont have a photo post but i was banded a year ago today.i have lost 62lbs. In a size 10.down from a 18. My internal medicine doctor asked me where i wanted 2 be i told him 130lbs. He said that was too small. I told him i didn't thinkso i am 5'2 so that is not too small for me.so now i am 30lbs from my goal. I go to the gym 5 days a week 1-2 hours a day.minimum 1 hr treadmill or elliptical. Now ready to pump up strenght training 2 maximize trimming and tioning my legs

Hi thanks for all the insites.i did something last night tHAT i dont ever remember doing. I went to my closet and was picking up and trying on clothes trying to decide what to wear too work today like i was going on a first date. I didnt do that when i was skinny in my twenties lol. BEING DOWN 62LBS IS STARTING TOO CHANGE MY LIFE IN A POSITIVE WAY, MENTALLY.HOW DO I MAKE MY TICKER CHANGE NUMBERS. TODAY I AM 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SURGERY.

Looking forward 2 being there.i have been steady decreasing over the past year.from 500mg glucophage to 125mg as needed.next appt. In about 4 months hopefully off meds all together.

Watch your carbs and fats

Yes that is normal. Ittook me 5 months.banded 12/23/8 and am down 55 lbs.exercise is a must. Progress slow.

as a fellow self payee i agree with you!

Why do you want yours out

I don't eat bread, rice or pasta.iwasn't eating much before surgery b/c i'm a diabetic. So 2 go from 2 slices of bread a week 2 none is fine by me. Form once a month rice and pasta 2 none is fine 2.

Share with me also open for advice

Did it all seem so hard going threw the process

Why reband were you scared 2 try it own your own to see if you can maintain.have anyone ever heard of some removing the band after reaching their goal
