I was banded September 21, 2009. I live in a suburb outside of Lowell. Had my surgery at Lowell Generall Hospital with

the LGH Baratric weightloss Center in North Chelmsford. The band is the best thing that ever happend to me (okay my family is the best but this is right up there!!) i have lost over 70 pounds and feel like a million bucks!!! Glad to share my experiences!!!

Great Job! I can't wait to get to that point!

:musical_note:Hi I'm from Brockton and I am being banded at BI on March 31st with Dr. Schneider. That is assuming the one last test I have this Tuesday comes out OK. Keep me posted on how you are doing. Kim

Hi I found out this afternoon that I am not a candidate for lap band because I have an asymtomatic esophageal motility (swallowing) problem so I won't be banded next week. I am upset because my option now is bypass which I didn't want but I can't go on this way with my weight. Kim

I am so sorry to hear about the latest news for you Kimholmes. I am sure you will do good with whichever surgery you decide to do. Good luck.

I grew up in Nahant, Ma. Now I live in southern Maine. I was banded at Maine Medical Center. They are a bariatric center of excellence. My experience with them over the last 6 months has been great.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
