Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Julie and I am new to this forum. I finally got approved for the LAP-BAND®® (my inital appoint was in Nov. 2009). I have my surgery scheduled for Aug 3rd. I am excited and nervous but I'm mostly ready to start living a healthier life! Is anyone getting banded around the same date? :tt2:

I go in on 8/2 for my second attempt at getting my band and I can't wait. I just hope that this time I do not wake up from my surgery to hear my surgeon say, "Sorry, we were not able to place your band". :smile: Though I am mostly optimistic about this surgery, there is a little bit of doubt that it may not work again or what if I fail at this too! I mean I have been on a thousand diets and they worked but I gained it back. I realize this is a tool and I need to change my life and I am ready.

I hear all these people talk about the band does not work and they have only lost like 15 lbs and they are barely eating anything but I never hear them say that they have gone to gym, gotten on bike, treadmill or even taken their dog for a walk. I know that it takes more than just eating less. It is the whole package and I AM READY!! :smile2:

Well, I should have had my surgery today but last Thursday my Dr's office called to say that they needed to cancel my surgery because they got my labs back and myTriglycerides were over 800 and I needed to get them down before they can re-schedule my surgery. Does anyone know how to lower them quickly? :thumbup:

I'm hoping to have a date soon. I'll be attending classes this week and had all my blood-work/EKG/chest xray last week. Dr. wants me to have a colonoscopy first, and that happens in about a week. (Wouldn't it be great to incorporate the colonoscopy and the pre-surgery diet? lol

I am 03 August, too! I have to check in at 6:30 AM. I'm just tidying up a few things before I go scrub with my special soap before bed. I'll be up at 4:45 to scrub again and get ready for my day. Good luck to all of you with upcoming dates/appointments!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
