Hello,

My name is Lisa Froman. I am 38 yrs old married. I have been thinking about Lap Band for quite a few yrs now. My husbands job keeps chainging every yr. I thought I would never be able to get it done. I have been overweight my whole life. I have tried every diet out there from Weight Watchers to just eating salads and nothing worked for me. Yeah I could lose 20-30 but gain it and more back.I had my first consultation on the 25th of Feburary and then I had my psy eval on the 28 of Feb. I then had my physical and dietian appt and just got the call today that my insurance company said yes to my surgery just waiting on the letter to arrive. I cried when i found out

Wow! Congratulations! This is best thing I ever did for myself. Come back often and keep posting. The folks here are very supportive and knowledgeable. Just remember, follow your surgeons advice first and foremost. Use the time pre-surgery to learn all you can, sample Protein powders and clean out the house of all trigger foods. I wish you every success!

      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! 😞
