YAY IM BELOW 250!!! Im officially in the 240's! It really helped to write on lbt yesterday and to look at a few inspirational pictures. Im getting back on track!

Current Weight: 250

Ok so this is coming off a lot slower then I thought. I've had 2 fills so far, almost at the perfect restriction level. I have not been working out, except the occasional walks with my dog. i am 10 weeks & 3 days post op and have lost a total of 15lbs since surgery. that is a total of 1.43lb/week. i guess thats all right, just getting little frustrated with the weight loss. I really REALLY want to get below 250. The last 3 2 weeks ive been between 250 and 253 I just cant seem to get below that. I am really going to try to start getting my butt in gear!

thanks for the picture comments! you are doing a great job!

Current Weight: 258

I just got my ab circle pro the other day! I am soo excited to start using it. My goal is to do 30 min on the elliptical, 30 min on the treadmill and doing 10-20 min on the acp daily. I?m officially starting today! I've been kind of a bad girl the last couple of days, I don?t even feel like I have the LAP-BAND?. I haven?t gained any weight, but I?m 2 weeks post op and have only lost 8lbs...

YAY i just had my surgery yesterday!!! i am feeling ok.. not great by any means. i had developed hernia, which was fixed during the surgery. after i woke up, i could not hold one conversation. i kept falling asleep after each sentence lol. anyways, i am so excited to start loosing some serious weight. im down 15lbs since my pre-op diet, but i havnt had anything to eat in abot 3 days, so im sure i lost more.

Hey Buck! WOW you look amazing! You are definitely an inspiration! Do you live in the Dallas area? I'm moving to there (don't know which part yet) in July.

Thanks for your kind words! You are an inspiration!

Thank you Teal for the kind words! I can't wait for the surgery! I have a date for March 15, a month EARLIER than I thought it was going to be! I'm super excited!

Hi! I was reading your pre-op questions and answers, and I am also going through Cigna insurance. I started my 6-month program at the end of Sept, and I was just wondering if you had any problems being approved. I call Cigna almost everyday to make sure I am good to go, they continue to reassure me, but I feel like I?m getting my hopes up so much, and I just don?t want to be disappointed.

Thanks

My name is Megen and I am in the process of getting the LapBand. I hope to have the surgery at the end of March 2010. I am a senior at the University Of Southern Mississippi and anticipate graduating in May with bachelors in architectural engineering. From there I am going to be working towards my second bachelor?s degree in construction engineering. I would love to become a building inspector when I graduate, but my weight will make it hard for me to find a job. A major criteria of being a building inspector is being physically fit in order to properly inspect the building. I have always struggled with obesity, and I am so grateful I have a second chance.
