I thought I would finally post on this thread. I have lost 110 pounds 9-1/2 months. I couldn't be more pleased. I love the band.

 

The first picture is me with my kids on my daughter's graduation May 08. The second is on the day of surgery. The third is me in January. I think I have lost about 20 lbs more since that picture, but I don't have anything more current.

Thanks. I have 5cc's in a 10cc band. I did better at the beginning. I didn't usually eat many carbs. I didn't snack as much and I lost fast. Lately, I have been snacking too much. I think I need another fill or I am just bored at home and falling into some bad habits again. I don't write anything down (you should). I eat normally with my family. I try to make things that I can eat and I will make it as light as possible. I don't eat much for Breakfast, sometimes a Protein Bar or drink. I eat Soup and crackers for lunch or tuna fish. I eat a "normal" dinner. I usually make things that I can eat. If it doesn't get stuck, I can eat 1-1/2 cups. I eat a snack later. I like Laughing Cow cheese and lowfat crackers or baked Tostito's and salsa.

I have had 4 fills and one unfill. Sometimes, I wonder how I lost so much because I rarely exercise and I cheat sometimes. I just think I have good metabolism. I do need to exercise because I have hanging skin and I need to tone up.

Any other questions, just ask.

Hello everyone. I have lost 140 pounds in the last 16 moths, with just under 100 pounds to go. I had my surgery on December 17, 2007. The Lap-Band has changed my life and I am so excited, I can't wait to get to goal.

I do not post often but I am going to start posting more since I have more time on my hands than I did before. If I can help anyone or be of encouragement, just pm me.

Six months ago I was all excited because I had made it into Onederland (75lb down). At the time, I thought the 100lb lost was the next goal and that it was within reach. In the last six months, I have bounced up and down from 90kg (200lb) to my lowest so far of 84kg (185lb). Six months and only 15lb and that not even consistant... *sigh* Right now I am onsite and won't know my true weight till I get on my home scales in 2 days time but I'd guess I'm back at around 86/87kg (190lb) again. At the bottom end of the bounce (185lb), I'm only 10 pound from reaching this milestone but do you think I can do it?? Noooo... I have to keep sabotaging myself on each trip back to site.

Time to refocus and get recommitted! I haven't finished this journey yet and I want to get to goal!! 100lb down is my next milestone and I vow now that I will achieve it before my first visit to the plastic surgeon on June 12!! That's seven weeks - I can do that!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
