New From Tx- Surgery 6/29!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to stop in & say hi! I'm a 34 yr old from Tx, have been married almost 14 yrs and have 2 kids.

I'm getting my surgery done on the 29th. I have been trying to lose this weight on my own for over 2 yrs without success, and I am hoping the lap band will be the tool to change my weight around.

My alltime max was 279, and I'm 5'2". This Tx heat is killing (hopefully for the last summer).

My Cigna plan excludes the lapband, so I am paying for this myself. ;)

I'm very nervous and have a huge fear that somehow this will not work and that I will be fat forever,lol. I think I am just crazy!

I hope to get to meet you all!

Hi! I am from Texas also. I was banded April 5th, 2011. It has been the best choice I have made in a long time. This summer I feel the heat is actually manageable. Last summer, I think I melted. Your fear is normal. This is such a great tool. You will love it!

I too am from Texas! Had my surgery on June 16th and I haven't regretted it yet. I hate the Texas heat and hope that Summer passes soon!

I also am a "self pay" patient and it sucks, but I keep thinking that will be an incentive for me to make it work. Email anytime if you have questions (leanel_01@yahoo.com). I will take all of the support I can get!:)

      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?
