It has been one year since my lap and surgery and I couldn't be happier! For me, it has been the best decision I ever made. I went from 240 lbs to my current weight of 159 lbs! I am in a size 6 jeans!!! I would still like to loss about twenty more pounds. This has been a life changing experience for me! The lap band has given me the control I lacked before by letting me feel full after a normal amount of food. Occasionally I eat too fast and things get stuck but that happens rarely now. There are some foods that I can no longer eat that I miss, but it was so worth it for me. I feel good. I feel confident. I am me again!

Thanks everyone. I know how important is was for me to hear some good stories. There sometimes seems to be only that bad ones out! As long as you don't try to cheat the band, is is a great tool.

I plateaued at 155 but 145 would be normal BMI so I got a fill! I got 0.3cc and it made all the difference...I went to 140 in a couple of months...I just dont diet and I dont exerise but I eat less because of the band.

      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?
