I had my lapband done in November. I have lost 50 lbs but most of the loss was the initial post op diet they put me on. I have gone for a fil pretty much every month and think I still am not where I need to be with feeling full. Other then that, I am glad I did it. I live in Putnam County, I dont know how far "Upstate" you are, but I can be a buddy and answer questions if you hav any andjust be supportive ! It gets easier !

OH forgot BIG tip , buy milk powder and add it to the Protein Shakes, yougurt, baby, food, anywhere you can to add Protein. The best is get wonton Soup from chinese take out without the wonton ( they will give you a quart for like $1.25) and then add milk powder, it makes it creamy and protein boosted.

Hi Janet, yes I have gone in for a few fills. But during my pregnancy the baby was so big I think it caused my port to tilt. So I dread getting fills because they have a hard time getting to my port. I gained 40 lbs & really need to get off my but & get it together. I made an appointment for the morning to speak to Jody and get some motivation.

      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!!
