Hi guys! I'm new here and looking to make some friends! I start my Pre Op diet tomorrow, another appointment on Monday to finish lab work and we're scheduling my surgery date then as well! I'm getting banded by Dr. Reilly in Houston, Texas from True Results! I'm extremely excited to say the least! I can't wait to be a big fat loser! =P I can't stop thinking about what I want to wear when I hit my goal! I miss shorts and tank tops REALLY BAD! Lol! I'd love to be back in sports and to be able to keep up with my daughter! Man! Makes me happy just thinking about it! A local buddy would definitely be twice as awesome! I'm 23 and currently a stay at home mommy of an awesome 2 year old little girl! Either way, I've been snooping on these forums for a few days and all of you seem like the people I need to be around right now! I'm avoiding telling most people because I don't feel like dealing with negative ones! I'll be on tomorrow! Goodnight guys!

I'm from Florida

I've been thinking of lapband since my cousin had it done a year ago

I decided to try

Went to seminar in June

Insurance won't pay

Borrowed from my 401k

And I'm on my way

(hmm kinda turned poetic)

But it's been that fast

I'm scheduled for Sept 20th

Can't wait to walk without pain!!

I love this group

Tons of help

Good luck everyone !!!

Yayyy! I like seeing more people with Dr. Reilly! I couldn't find any reviews on him until I got on here! I was scared of having him as my surgeon at first, but now not so much! =)

Had my band implanted 9/20

I'm in much more pain than I expected

Hope this will be worth it

I was also banded on 9/20... The pain that I feel is coming from gas in my left shoulder

I have my follow up appointment on Tuesday

I have severe heart burn

I took milk of magnesia and finally went to the bathroom

Water even gives me heartburn and the protien shake kill me. Needless to say I am weak from not eating.

I'm going to the Dr tomorrow.

Hope he can do something

I wonder if I did the right thing getting banded!

      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.
