Would love to here your stories good an bad. So excited to start the process for my weight loss journey. Did all my research an know all I need to know. But very interested on other peoples stories. Wish me luck everyone. My weight currently is 263.5 my BMI is 43.85 :,( I'm only 21 but I've been over weight my whole life it runs in my family sadly. I've done everything an anything I can think of to lose weight because I didn't wanna be put under but after all my fail attempts for the past 8yrs I think the lap band is my only hope for dropping the weight getting healthy an happy. I am not only doing this for myself I am doing this for my son. I'm taking every step I can to make this happen. I won't give up..I am not trying to be skinny being thick is okay with my but I'm more then thick I'm morbidly obese my goal if I am able to get this surgery is 100lbs in a yrs an of course ill keep up with working out an the diet.

I have seen success and failure with the band. I plan on being a success. And more than that, I refuse to be a failure. I am down 70 lbs and plan on losing 30 to 40 more.

You will wo great, I am sure.

Thanks you (: I've made my doctor's apt today an very excited for it its in 2 an a half weeks an I'm hopping for the beet but expecting the worse. An even if I'm told I'm not approved ill do everything I can to get approved an if that does work ill save money to pay for it myself. It's definitely worth the money to be happy an healthly for once in my life for myself an my son. Good luck to you as well dear.

You and I started around the same weight and have similar weight loss goals! I am hoping to be a success, but will be a very slow one. I am really struggling to get this weight off, but am not giving up! Good luck with your journey!

I was banded 12/6 and have lost 35 pounds. I went through a 2 month plateau where I kept losing and gaining the same 3 pounds. So discouraging...but I'm still trying! I am hoping to do better over the summer when I'll have more time to work out, etc. I'll get there slow but sure!

      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.
