I’m 11 days post op. I’m still having pain issues where they removed my lap band port. No walking yet. I can’t believe how much you all are able to walk! I’m having some gi issues. I started mixing my protein powder w sf choc pudding and I get awful cramping and liquid stool about 15 min into eating. It’s been pretty consistent with that food so I’m going to back off of it. Anyone else have that issue?

Hi! I had my revision from band to sleeve 11/13. I also woke up full of regret and pain. My husband went back to work today and it’s just me and the toddler today...hope we survive 😂. I’ve only lost 10lbs so far so I’m a bit discouraged. I was hoping to be at 12-23 lbs down today. I am having a hard time getting protein in but liquids are going much better.

wanted to share my story too because I always found the success stories to be so inspiring! I was banded in October 2009 weighing in at 242. Day of surgery (after a week of saying goodbye to my favorite restaurant and giving up soda) I was 236. Today I am 169! About a year into this journey I was shopping with my Lane Bryant rewards and the sales lady came to me to gently remind me that it was a plus size store and they smallest they carried was a size 14. I was shocked and giddy! I have no idea how many cc's are in my 10cc band, I have had 2 instances where they have removed some but then slowly worked my way back up. Initially I didn't need to do anything to lose, it just melted off, but this last 30 lbs have been a struggle. I am exercising and counting weight watchers points. My goal is to be 140 by Christmas!! My band can be my enemy and my friend but I wouldn't change anything! Good luck to everyone:-) I

oops...photo didnt work;-(

Hi!! I was banded on 10/14/09. So far so good but this liquid diet is killimg me!! im so ready for solid food. Not even bad for me food I just want to chew;-)

Hello! I was finally banded on 10/14/09 and I am so happy. First day home was rough but its getting better. Im trying to use the this site to find some nice savory liquid items because I am so tired of the sweet liquids!! Id like to get a fab month name....where are the other October 09 people hiding? Also Dr Choban gave me the choice or realize or lap but when I asked about the different port options from the bands she made it seem like she had put in 1000s of normal lap bands and she was comfortable with it, but i could do whichever I wanted...duh i picked the one she had done 1000s of times;-) Lisa

Hi All! I am using Dr Choban and hope to be banded soon. I am currently awaiting a Peer to Peer review since I was denied:-( today due to low BMI in 07. Wish me luck!! ~Lisa~
