HELP! Banded 2 months ago w/ 7 pd lost?!?!



Recommended Posts

Have you had a fill yet? The band works best for most folks with a fill. It's good you have restriction, but it sounds as if you need a little more?

Hang in there and schedule that next fill. A little bit can make a big difference...you'll know it when you get there. The band will bite back a bit harder and you will feel so full so much sooner, you won't want the bigger portions! Find that feeling/sensation and memorize it! When you have "head hunger", you'll need to remember that and stop. It's a little dance between your body, your mind, and your band. You have only just begun. Don't worry!!!

I'm a very happy Kuri patient. And I saw the pics of the new hospital, have you seen them on his website? Much much nicer than what I experienced! And still I'm a happy bandster. They will take good care of you. Congrats! And keep us posted!

bandster_gal, let us know how your next fill goes. I'm betting it will make a big difference! Good luck!

Cause the craptacular service of the average insurance in the United States is simply appauling. The Lap Band was developed there and can be done for a low price professionally. I hate insurance companies since they denied my mother so much over the years. She is litterally falling apart. I have BCBS of Calif and they cover everything, she has BCBS of Illinois and she gets nothing. I hate those scamming life sucking bastards.

I am of Mexican descent and my uncle is a Mexican doctor, but no way, no how would I have surgery in Mexico!!!! They simply dont have the standards of care that we have here in the states and there is a reason why so many docs here in the states wont take patients banded in Mexico. Be very very careful, I wouldnt do it, but know for some there is no other alternative, but I pray you'll be ok.

      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?
