New Here, Labp Band Surgery Om 9/10/12



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to introduce myself, I have been following this forum for a while. I am very excited for this new chapter in my life!! Have been thinking about weight loss surgery since 2003, but thought I did not need surgical intervention. My highest weight was 308lbs, lost 20lbs on my own by excercising and making the right food choices. Now I have an additional tool to get to my weight goal!!

HI Bea and Sandra

Welcome to the forum. Please feel free to ask any questions that will make you understand more about the band. I have had great results, there has been some ups and downs but on the whole pretty good. On this forum there are plenty of people to answer your questions. I remember asking lots of them when I first started this process. Hugs to you both. God Bless

Hi, my name is Tammy. My surgery date is Sept 19. I'm anxious to get the show on the road. I am doing the 2 week pre-op liquid/ soft diet now. The 1st 4 days I was hungry, now not so much. I do miss crunchy stuff like pretzels though.

I don't even feel like I can compare to any of you on here. The closest I have got to be in the process is going to the seminar which is the hospitals first step the want you to do. (the one I want to go to) Oh well I guess we all have to fight for what we want even though we have all of our lives

One step at a time, it took me a year to have the surgery. Now it seems like the time flew with all the tests and nutrition classes. I am so glad I hung in there, you do the same. God Bless

      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? 🤷‍♀️
