Lap Band Talk Newcomer



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, my name is Amy from Florida and was banded 11-08-11. I'm looking for others to be in touch with for support on this new and wonderful life journey. I am very excited and at the same time a little stressed. I think it is because I'm not sure what to expect. I have my first fill on Dec 20th and hope I do well with it. Best of luck to everyone on your new life!

Hello, I am a newbie also! I was banded on 11/21 and go for a fill on 12/20 also. I feel like I am going through this blindly even though I have the materials. I find this site very informative and I havent even asked a question as someone here always asks it for me, lol! I go back to work on Wed and I also nervous as I have a job that can be physically demanding. Oh well, with all this protien in me, I can do anything, lol! Welcome and I look forward to chatting with you on different topics as they arise!

Hey Skinny, was there a big difference once you got filled? And, do they just take a wild guess as to how much to fill? I'm still in the just banded phase and food seems to pass through quite easily.

Honestly, no. I ended up not getting a fill today. I'm still not completely sure what I should be looking for to see if I need a fill. I'm losing weight.. (8lbs last month) I'm not really hungry in between meals... Usually get a little hungry right on schedule. But Im not sure if I feel restricted at all. I measure my food with a food scale so I don't really leave room for over eating. As for how they know how much to fill, I'm not sure.. I guess it's at the doc's discretion.

Hi...I'm Lisa and I'm taking the LAP Band journey. Had my surgery on December 1st and it's not even a week and I'm down 22 pounds! My main reason for the LAP, not only better health but to eventually have my hip replaced. I'm living a life of pain...well, lets say, I'm NOT living...this is not fun, no life at all with this much discomfort!

Looking forward to checking in again!

LIsa

      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.
