If you are reading this, I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in this. I was banded on 2/23/2010 and I was very fortunate to have found a wonderful support system via writing and reading different Lap band blogs on Blogger.com, which is where I currently blog.

I invite anyone of you who needs someone to talk with, words of encouragement or a pep talk to feel free to contact me. You can reach me via email on this site or through my blog...

I know if I hadn't had the support of the wonderful women I met, I don't think I'd have been quite as successful as there were times I wanted to give up, give in, use my scale for target practice and stuff my face with Cookies until I puked. Nowdays, i still want to use my scale for target practice, but only occasionally! If you need a buddy, feel free to drop me a line!!! :)

I'm thinking about doing the lap ban but I'm scared of any issues that may arise during the journey.

Getting the Lap Band is a personal decision and it doesn't work for everyone, but with that being said, for me ti was the best decidion I ever made. You have to be willing to WORK for your losses and not just expect the weight to fall off without any effort. I work with a personal trainer and have totally revamped my way of eating, so you just need to weight your wants, your needs and your goals to determine if this is right for you!!

Good Luck!!!

Stephanie

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
