Hi All,

I was banded Oct 22. I had to be put in ICU after surgery for 24 hours because of my sleep apena being so bad. The only other issue I had was the incision where the actual band was placed started to bleed a week after surgery, but my doctor said it was okay. It quit after a week and I have been doing good every since.

Weight before lap band journey - 274

Weight day of surgery - 254

Weight as of 12/5 - 234

40 pound lost to date!!! :clap2:

No fills yet.

I eat 2 ounces three times a day and it holds me for 4 - 5 hours. I feel like I have won the weight loss lottery. I hope it stays this way and I won't need any fills, doc says that happens to some people.

Anyone else out there having success with the band without fills?

Hello, Was thinking about starting a group for the 10-06'ers when I ran across this group. Glad I did.

I was banded Oct. 19th. 06. I haven't regretted one minute of it. I made the right decision. I Love my band and it's the best thing I ever did for myself. I hope you all feel the same way.

The last 2 months I have been struggling with my weight loss. I haven't gained any but haven't lost either. I really struggled thru the holidays. It was not my band it was me. I made the wrong choices and I regret it. I'm going in Feb. 4th. for a fill. This will be my 6th one. I do need to ask how much I have in band. I've never asked, I just figure that I will hit my spot someday and till than I will just keep going to get adjusted.

Is there any other Missourians out there?

Hope you don't mind me joining in here. I hope I can make a good contribution to this group.

Thanks, Suzanne.

Thanks Shirley, right now I need all the encouragement I can get. I'm sure you know that feeling. I need a place where I can come to and listen to ours and learn. To find out what everyone else is doing and to see if it will help me. I hope that I will be able to boost others with any wisdom I have also. I look forward to meeting more here.

By the way. I see you have Henry Ford Hospital written under your name. By any chance are you from the Detroit area?

Have a great day.

Yesterday was one of those struggle days. I started out just fine. Got up and went to wok out and than I had a little shopping to do. Got home about 11am and decided to fix a bowl of oatmeal. All was fine and I was doing well till I needed to bake some Cookies and make some brownies for a get together today. I didn't over due it but I ate more than I should have. I hate when I do that. Not going to beat myself up, just going to learn from it. Today is a new day. Although I'm not going to exercise today. All the places to do it are closed and it is just to bitter outside. 6 degrees right now and it's not supposed to get to much warmer.

Have a great day.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
