I was on a cruise ship for 6 1/2 months performing. 2 weeks before we came home I got the flu and was throwing up a LOT. I started having REAL problems holding anything down and was having severe acid reflux. To the point of caughing up gastric juices from my lungs!!! Lost 10 lbs by the time I left the ship. Went to the doctor asap at home... next day surgery! The band had slipped and was obstructing almost all I ate or drank. Due to the throwing up I got a hyatal (spelling) hernia. Had the band fixed and the hernia repaired. Now things are getting better but it was still a real pain. Hope this does not happen to anyone else...

It is a strange feeling when you finally get to the weight you dreamed of... you look back at the person you were and say to yourself "how could I have let that happen to me"!

I was 337 at my highest weight. Today I am 197! God Bless the Lap Band procedure.

You can do it too.

This is part 2 of a documentary of the Lap-Band®®® process for FOX and DHC. I am now 20 weeks out and have lost 88lbs. Thank god for the Lap-Band®®®!

Checking in with CosmetiCare patient Todd Hartmann 8 weeks after his LAP-BAND®®® surgery. He's lost 63lbs since the procedure!

Here is a short clip of my Lap-Band® procedure and 2 months after! A full documentary will appear on Discovery Health nex year some time when I've reached my goal weight. 87lbs down since 6/16/09!:thumbup:

This is a miracle story!:thumbup:

I had the LAP-BAND® surgery on 6/16/09. In 3 months and 2 1/2 weeks I have lost 81lbs! Sore everywhere from all the exercise! This is a documentary of my LAP-BAND® experience. To say this has changed my life would be an understatement. .

I want to share this with anyone who is in need of this procedure. Addicted to food? ME! If I couldn't eat it I'd sit on it!:thumbup: Everything in my life was so hard to physically do. Trouble even sleeping. Frustrated...me, miserable....me, tired all the time...me... GONE GONE GONE!!!

If you want to lower health care cost the government should just pay for Lap Bands for all who need them!:laugh: Diabetes cut in half, Heart Disease...half...etc. Just my opinion...can you tell I am SCREAMING WITH JOY regarding the LAP-BAND®®®®?

I've been told I am losing more than most people...BUT IT'S SO EASY!:tongue: I'm NEVER hungry...just me? My cravings are gone...just me? The key to the LAP-BAND® I believe is looking at it as if it's a gift and not fight it. I took on this to save my life... it's that important. I realise now the world is SO much bigger than food!

Kathy!:tt1:

Thank you so much! You should be so proud of yourself for not only taking control of your life but...OMG 50lbs! You are on the path. The hardest part id over. Now it's kind of exciting to watch your body shrink! I appreciate your kind words regarding my family. I have more support than you can imagine. I think I'll see my grand kids now.

Thanks again and keep up the good work,

Todd

Thank you so much!:tt1: I couldn't hold anything down except for popcicles, juice and water the first 7 days. It will get so much better. I have trouble tolerating eggs too.

But I'm so proud of you taking this huge step into a new life! It will change you forever. There is SO much more than food in this world. And we still can enjoy food! Just very very slowly!

You must download the quicktime player if you (like me) have a regular PC.

I had the LAP-BAND®®® surgery on 6/16/09. In 3 months and 1 week I have lost 75lbs! I'm half way home! This is a video of my LAP-BAND®®® experience. To say this has changed my life would be an understatement. Cosmeticare in Newport Beach California was absolutely incredible! If you want the best call them up and go talk about it with the nicest people you will ever meet.

Low fat...High in protien...low in calories. The best Cottage Cheese in the world is Trader Joes cottage cheese!:crying: Red printed container. I put Tobasco and a little salt on it...GREAT!!!

Eat a cup and a half of it 2 to 3 times a day and have lost 67lbs in the first 10 weeks!:cryin::smile2:

Oh, and I just wanted to say that if you just look at the lap band as a gift and not a restriction to you, you'll find it much better in the end. Also, try your best not to fight the band by trying to get around it's purpose.

It has been 10 weeks since my Lap Band surgery was done....WOW!!!! I am now 67lbs lighter!:crying: Yes... 10 weeks and 67lbs. I have No hunger, no cravings and I have to remind myself to eat!!! I am the subject of a documentary on the lap band procedure which gives me a greater incentive to get to my goal of 175lbs. Started our at 325lbs! Going to lose 150lbs in 18 months!

Anyone considering doing this is thinking correctly as far as I'm concerned.

Being a guy I've been told we lose weight faster than women so you might lose it slower BUT what a great gift the lap band is if you REALLY want to live a long life!:cryin::smile2:

I find that I can tolerate almost everything!:smile2: Trying to stay true to the band by eating the right things but can anyone tell me if soft serve sugar free frozen yogurt is ok? I love the taste of this Yogurt Passion place and was hoping I could have it as a dessert sometimes. Have lost 34lbs in 22 days!:crying: Hope to keep the loss to 2lbs a week from now on. Only threw-up 2 times when testing the band and now have a good grasp of what I can eat til the 1st fill comes.:thumbup:
