Hi all. I had the lap band surgery in 2011. I lost 60 pounds and have not lost one pound in almost a year. I noticed this month that I'm up 5 pounds! I'm pretty freaked out. I just would like to talk about my general fears etc. Thanks! Megan

Hey Megan!

I'm only about an hour southeast of you in Powhatan. I was banded in 2007, lost 70 lbs, then gained some back after my 2nd son was born. I've kept 40 lbs off, & want to get back on track. Let me know if you're interested in e-mailing back and forth. I don't get up to Charlottesville too often, but having someone close by to encourage me would be great!

I would love to join the two of you. I am in Mineral, VA. I work in Richmond. I was banded in 2008, lost 70 pounds, gained 30 back after spine surgery and need to lose about 80 pounds at least. I am working at getting back on track and making an appointment with my bariatric surgeon to get my band filled.

I would also like to email some fellow Virginia bandsters. The extra support would be great!

Ok ladies, how are y'all doing this week? I've been kinda stressed at work, & the scale is showing it. I'm too embarrassed to go back to the nurse practitioner at St. Mary's (Jeannine @ Commonwealth Surgeons), & the nutritionist I was seeing at St. Francis was more interested in selling Vitamins. Gotta get back on track and focus! Would really appreciate your thoughts and prayers. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
