Hi, I am going to be having surgery in about 1 1/2 weeks and trying to get some advice with other guys who have had it done. What was your experience after surgery in regards to the diet and exercise? I am in need of loosing 50 lbs to be at my goal weight . I am wondering if anyone has experience visible ports or complications. For the past 3 weeks I have been eating small meals and working out in order to get a head start. I have lost 15 lbs but not sure if I should go forward with the surgery or not just a bit worried. Any comments will help. Thanks.

I want to lose 85 lbs and it will be worth it for me. I'm down 29 since starting preop and having surgery last month. I have had no major problems and can actually cross my legs today! I know that sounds stupid to be happy about something like that but I unconsciously crossed my leg today and said to myself "wow I've been to fat to cross my legs for almost two years and now I just did it! My face is looking skinnier and I am not feeling porky. I still have a ways to go but 50 lbs would be worth it as I felt bad physically, Was depressed and looked horrible. Already I feel better!

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this blog and am almost 24 hours post op (LapBand). I only have about 60 lbs to loose and had thought long and hard about this step. I had tried multiple ways to loose weight after putting on over 50 lbs when I became sick a few years back. Before this point I had been a healthy adult most of my life. I do not regret it because I know I had put forth tremendous effort beforehand and had thought a long time about it. In the end, it's a personal decision you should make with your immediate family. Good Luck whatever you decide.

Hi - I just got mine yesterday to lose 50-60. It's worth it. Those with higher amounts to lose will get to the 50 more to lose mark and will want to lose those 50 pounds because they will see they are still not where they want to be. I am self-pay also but will say for sure it is worth it! Good luck ????
