I have a 'lap band' which is manufactured by Allergan.

Why?

Just wondering. My surgeon put in a Realize band yesterday. Never thought about it up here.

To me there is no difference, 2 different manufactures that's all. The rules and lifestyle is still the same.

We use the term lap band as a general term not a specific brand.... no one will oust you!!

Unlike other sites (sleeve) we dont oust people with other surgeries .We welcome anyone with any WLS.the decision to do any surgery is very hard.and we all need support on the lifestyle changes and ups and downs.many of the changes inneating and the emotional stuff we go through is the same and we need each other...goodluck in your journey !!

Thank you, I appreciate it! Some folks are friendlier than others and some very judgemental, so I didn't want to ruffle any feathers!

Thank you all again!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
