Cblancha9,

Good luck with your surgery. At our age you'll need to exercise daily, but it works. Please keep me posted.

I have been banded for 10 mo. and I've lost 100 lbs. I am now at 170 lbs. and I think I'm going to try for 11 more lbs. to be at 159 lbs. It's been an amazing journey. I wish I had found this forum a long time ago.;)

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted but I'm back now. To update anyone that might be interested.....I had my lap band surgery 2 years ago as of April 29th and to date, I've lost 231 pounds! I still have about 75 pounds to go, but there's no doubt in my mind, I'll do it. My band has been a miracle band as I've only had 3 fills in 2 years. So any one that says you can't lose that much weight with the lap band, that's a load of bull! I feel like a different person and quite frankly look like one, too. My band literally saved my life and I'll be forever grateful to everyone on here that has given me nothing but support. Hope everyone is doing well and I hope to talk to some of y'all soon. Becky

I posted and then noticed it had my old ticker on it, well I'll have to correct that with a quickness. Now if I can only remember how to do that!:help:

Hey this is awesome!! I haven't even lost 10 lbs yet but I hope it works as well for me as it has for the rest of you. I get my first fill tomorrow! Any of you who have any advice for a newbie, please PM me!! I need all of the encouragement and support I can get. I just keep thinking "I hope this works" surgery seems so drastic and now that I have had it done, I worry if it will be like every diet I have tried my whole life and failed at. I was banded April 9th 07 in Kansas City Ks. To the 100lb losers, I'm not worthy I'm not worthy! But I hope it happens to me. You guys are incredible and remember! Any tips, food tips, exercise tips or any little thing that helped you succeed, Send me a PM.

Katie

Hi ya'll. I reached the grand milestone of -100 lbs. last week. I had my surgery on September 5 of last year, so I'm just 8 months out. I'm 6 lbs. from my initial goal (may re-evaluate at that point), and couldn't be happier. I'm down from a size 26W jeans to size 12. I am off of 3 blood pressure-related prescription meds. My plantar fasciitis is completely gone. Knee pain gone. My flexibility, stamina, and strength are up, up, up.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
