My tummy isn't so bad but I have this terrible amount of excess from thighs so looks like I have really fat knees. Are you saying tummy tucks pulls up that inner thigh yuck?

Too kool guys. I was banded on May 22, 2009 and got my first fill July 6th.. It doesn't feel any different and yes, could eat more if I let myself. Remember.. you didn't go through this surgery to just make you lose weight... it is a journey and we have to change our eating habits. I go August 7 for another fill. It really is mind over matter. I don't think I am hungry.. I just like to snack. Have a great day and hang in there everyone..

I have been on every diet known to man and woman and they all work except I was always hungry and always thinking about my next meal or point or whatever. I had lapband done on May 22, 2009. I have lost 20 lbs.. not alot but have also lost 2 inches off my waist, 1.5 off hips, chest etc. Slow is always better when dieting. Am losing about 1-2 lbs per week. I feel great and now I can walk 2 - 3 miles a day which I had to stop because I would lose my breath. Lapband isn't right for everyone..but I definitely no longer feel hungry. Sometime we eat because we are bored.. I just have to learn not to and will do even better. Hope this helps.:bored:

My surgery was on the 22nd of May and on the 7th day I was fine. Drank chicken broth for my meals. gas was obnoxious but livable. Hang in there.

hey.. had mine done May 22 and have lost 20 lbs. go on chat and talk to folks right then and there. most have lost 50-60 lbs in the first 6 months. Have my first fill July 10th. I was scared by what I read too but some of them are really old blogs. Good luck. My hubby supportive too. Got a good one there girl.

Congratulations!!! that is super great. Just think that you kids will be able to play with mommy for so much longer. I am a grandmother who at 61 said the same thing as you. No diet worked because I was always hungry and could not think of anything but food. I had my lapband surgery May 22 and feel great. Keep up the good work. Am proud of you.

I ws done on May 22nd and luckily didn't get sick at all. just took it real slow on the water and soup end and really was surprised how little I ate. Am in week 4 startign tomorrow and feel great. Hang int here.

I ws banded on the 22nd of May. Woke up this morning and it was the first day didn't say ouch. Good feeling. The pain throughout was discomfort more then pain. My problem and it may not be one is that I have done nothing except pee since the surgery. Any suggestins to get my butt in gear
