I am doing great. The first week was rough but it got better pretty quick. Look at my blog and it will let you know what you will be going through. I am very happy it did it. I was 235.6 pre-op and pre-diet. I was 225 the day of surgery and at my last appt I was 211.6 that is a total of 23.4. I try to weigh myself once a week and only post the appt weigh-ins. I don't go back until 3/20 but I have lost an addition 5-6 lbs.

I think everyone is nervous with any kind of surgery because it is surgery. You will be fine! Good luck and keep in touch. i will send you a friend request.

Hello fellow Texans! I live in Princeton Texas and am just starting this journey. I am so excited - at 4'11" i currently weight 201 with a BMI of 41.1 - so for insurance purposes I qualify without any other medical issues. I have UHC Core insurance - so i have to do the 6 months and the various tests, and today i have my appointment with the bariatric nurse who works for UHC and i have TONS of questions for her!!

Did any of you use True Results? I am going through TR in Richardson, they are fantastic - it's nice going somewhere knowing they have all been banded so they 'really' know what it is like.

Congrats to all of you who have been banded already - i'm thrilled to be starting this journey as i've been looking for the Tool that will hold me accountable for years....and I think that the lap band is just that.

I'm sure as the dates get closer, i'll be asking you guys lots of questions.

good luck!

Hi all! I am in Frisco and going through True Results in Richardson as well! I've been really impressed so far. I have already been approved by my insurance YEAH! (BCBS IL). I am 5'3" and weigh 220.

I have had my psyc. and nutrition appt and blood work done and am waiting on the results. I will have an 'at home' sleep study kit delivered tomorrow. I'm not sure what the next step is. I don't have another appointment scheduled. They said they would contact me after the results from the blood work is in. I guess this is normal? They did say that when they scheduled my surgery, it would be sometime during the 2nd week of April. Taheenasmom-it looks like my surgery would be very close to yours :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
