No i didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed..... just tired of some people coming on here posting that they are not losing weight even though it has only been a short time that they had LB surgery...... I also had great pre-band education.... but I also did a lot of research and talked to people at support groups and i listen when they talked. This kind of statement gets under my skin:........(this is just made up, but you get were im coming from) I had my surgery 3 months ago and i have only lost 50lbs....... REALLY! only 50 pounds... could you have lost it if you had not had LB surgery.... probably, but not in three months and could you keep it off... probably not... so i guess what i'm really getting at is .......... be grateful and stop whining..... if your not losing weight, do some self reevaluation......look at what your eating or not eating.... look at the exercise your doing or not doing....... look with in, don't just count on the band to do it all. There are people out there who would give anything to have the opportunity that we have had. To have this surgery was a complete God send to me. And some people have the surgery and never use it the way it was intended. Or think they will wake up thin....

Throwing up even after a year or two following the lap-band?
BayougirlMrsS replied to lookingbetter's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My first suggestion to you is ...... go find a WLS support group. The people there will be able to answer most every question you have. It will either put your mind at ease or tell you that WLS is not for you. Throwing up does NOT mean a slipped band..... if she throws up everything... Water, spit, food with sever pain..... that's a slipped band. So the question now is when is she throwing up.... first thing in the morning right as she gets out of bed? After she has coffee? food? I find that i can't eat right when i get up, i have to wait till about 9 or so and after coffee..... the HOT coffee helps things go down easier. Were are you getting the information the bandsters are never supposed to throw up? I have never never met one that has NOT thrown up. Eating with the band is a learning process. We find out what we can and can't eat by eating them...... Sometimes things go well, sometimes not. On the nots, sometimes it has to come back up. It's just the way it is. I had to learn the hard way that i can't eat Steak anymore. Some bansters have no trouble with Steak... This of course is just an example. But i hope you get the picture. EVERYONE'S experiences with the band is different. What works for me, may not work for anyone else. You just have to do your research and listen to your doctor............ BUT MOST OF ALL LISTEN TO YOUR BAND..... It has taken me almost two years to lose 80-83lbs... why, because i chose to take it slow.... I do have issues still with my self esteem and relationship problems. But i will work them out. Right now i'm having to comes to grips with people telling me to STOP losing weight.... I still see the FAT girl in the mirror. Hope you all the best of luck what ever your choice may be. -
so i keep hearing the same thing over and over........ how much weight have you lost, how much more do you want to lose and ...... then i get the really, you should not lose any more weight.
-
so today yet another fight..... my husband said me losing the weight was the worse thing. That my "attitude" has changed...
-
Kryst... i'm so sorry you keep running into road blocks... have faith, a door will open...
-
So your insurance won't cover the WLS. Did you try Care Credit? Or maybe put it on a "reg" credit card and pay that way. Can you barrow against 401k? What about the dr. in your area, any one make arrangements for self pay with a payment plan?

omg... you have the most beautiful skin... so lovely. Keep up the great work -
So Friday my husband and i got in the car and drove to Mississippi to the IP casino. The occasion, JOAN JETT!!!! went see her rock the house. She was amazing.... Saturday woke up and went eat the breakfast buffet (yuck) ate only a few bites. Decided it would be a great idea to sit by the pool and drink. Turns out, not a good idea. Got drunk as a skunk. Note to self, after losing 80lbs, don't drink on an empty stomach....
-
and the bottom line is this is your life, your choice. was it hard for you to lose the weight you have already lost. can you maintain the weightloss or will you gain it all back ... plus some? what about other health issues.... do you have any?

i told husband that the "bag of bones" commit really hurt my feelings.... he said he thought it was a compliment... that i was looking skinny.... ughhh

I am wondering if all the meds pre op are not going to be need post op
BayougirlMrsS replied to glowormvl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never took meds before, but most of the people have been either able to stop completely or ween them down considerable. I really could use an anti depressant... and that's no joke. The emotional roller coaster you go on is so up and down. i'm going thru a bit od depression right now. Especially after my husband said i'm starting to look like a bag of bones.... insert knife. -

So you are starting at almost exactly were i did. 5 2, start weight 223. Banded 11/10/09, Started at size 18, and a 1-2xl shirt, 44G bra. Currently 143, size 7-8 jeans, large shirt and 36FFF Bra. I wish you all the luck in the world.
-
just noticed your two year ban-anniversary is coming up too.... i'm two days before you (11/10/09). I'm not as blessed in the height category, being only 5 2. We started about the same 223. My goal weight was 150 at first, but I think 130 would be good for me. You look incredible...

so last night my husband asked "how much more weight do you want to lose" I said I don't know why? "because your starting to look like a bag of bones" "and your face is getting wrinkled"
