Maybe you guys should stop weighting yourselfs, and try other tips from lapbanders, some lapbanders don't loss much on the first year, but you still loss weight it works, 32 or 35 pounds is good. Try exercise, walk everyday, drink protiens more often, drink alot of Water daily. See the dieticion for tips on what to eat. Don't let yourself get depressed or give up on early stages. different people loss differently from eachother but we all will make it at the end specially if we keep up with the hard work. REMEMBER lapband is a toll and we got to work hard on it. I haven't been banded yet, but hopefully by 11 of August 09 i will be. Im scared but im fighting to loss weight even if i loss as little as 32 pounds, i will still fight to loss more..

Im 22, my bmi is 44, i been overweight since i was a child, i tired every diet you name it, herbal diet pills, my gp have gave me different types of diet pills, nothing seem to work with me. i was on liquid diet with lighterlife in 2005 and managed to loss 10kg in 3 weeks thats 22pounds which was amazing for me to loss that much. since then my weight started going up and down light a yow-yow. In December 08, i have asked my Gp in london, what she thought of me having lapband, i told her i was going to middle east in Syria to get it done there because i can't offord to do it in private in UK.. She offered me to do it in NHS and reffered to the hosptial, i had my appointment to see the doctor in feb 09, since then i had to see the dietitian, and have my sleep study and finally see the psychologist. The psychologist needs to get to the bottom of the reason why you over eat!!! and that you are in a stable mental condition to deal with life post operation. ( BE HONEST WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU DONT MENTION THAT YOU HAD HARMED YOURSELF FOR NOT LOSSING WEIGHT IN THE PAST). On the 08 of July 09, I was finally approved for the lapband. I sow my surgeon and he then gaved me my operation date on the 11 of august 09. Im scared but at the same time im so happy to get though on NHS. Tips, Most important part is to have a good history record on the Gp system, such as pain on the legs of been over weight, and get your gp to give you diet pills such as reductil, xencal, Acomplia, metformin and sends you to dietition. ( if your gp don't mention these diet pills to you, you mention it to your doctor). I asked for reductil and xencal and acomplia but at the end after not lossing much weight she recommended metformin. I didn't loss much and i got fid up with pills. If you don't loss weight, she can refer you to get lapband without refusing. I dont have health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure. but I do admit I have PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome , which is the main problem for not lossing weight. I hope this information is helpful. Goodluck with your journey. Manal Rajab
