Best ting I ever did!

I'm so happy that I made the decision almost 1 year ago to start the journey to get the Lap-Band. I have lost 60.5 lbs since my surgery on April 6th (4 months yesterday). I feel great! When I was on WW it took me almost a year and a half to lose 65 lbs.

I was nervous too but I have to say it was so much better than I could have imagined. I went in at 6, surgery was at 7 or so and I was on my way home at 12. I had hardly any pain. It almost was as if I didn't have anything done. I know that everyone is different but that was my experience. Good luck to you! Just remember to do everything that they tell you to do. That will be to your benefit.

I agree. I am so glad I had the surgery. I am now down to 215! The best part is, my menstrual cycle returned. I haven't had it since I was tweleve. I thought it would return when I got under 200! Wow it is a unexplainable feeling to have the knowledge I can now reproduce. It made me cry (of course it could have been the hormones too LOL)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
